Planned Giving Another way to help BAM prepare for the future is by making a provision in your estate plans. You create a legacy for many generations to come and ensure BAM’s excellence continues for the next 150 years. Existing options for planned giving include making a bequest in your will, and naming BAM as a beneficiary in your retirement plan or insurance policy, among others. Unless otherwise specified by a donor, it is BAM’s policy to apply planned gifts toward its endowment. Individuals who have made such gifts are recognized in the select group of patrons known as BAM Angels.

Our special thanks to the foresight of the charitable BAM Angels listed below.

BAM Angels Denis Azaro Barbara T. Hoffman David L. Ramsay, MD Bettina Bancroft William Josephson William Boss Sandberg Robert & Joan Catell Charlotte & Stanley Kriegel Louis Sanders Neil D.
