We hold events to thank our donors from time to time. The first event in 2025 was held on May 29th and featured Dr. Bernadine Fong, Director of Leadership Initiatives, Stanford Institute for Higher Education Research. She gave a fascinating talk to residents on the topic of  “Barriers to Effective Learning.” Here is a recording of Dr Fong's presentation. Dr Fong has provided a valuable handout illustrating how some of the identified barriers can be overcome entitled You can grow your brain .

The second event was held at the Koi Pond on June 30th and featured remarks by previous grantees.

The first event in 2024 was on May 3 and featured a presentation by Michael Kirst, Professor Emeritus at the Stanford  School of Education, who discussed “Improving K-12 Education: Challenges and New Strategies ”. Here is a recording of Prof Kirst's presentation.

Our second event took place at the SRC Koi Pond in late June with wine and munchies, featuring remarks by various of our grantees on how the Living Legacy grants are helping their education and career development. This was a very interesting and enjoyable event.

In 2022 we heard presentations on
"Today’s Challenges in College Admissions" from Mike Flynn, Engenius Learning Centers
and
"Today’s Challenges in College Admissions, the College/University Perspective" from Mike Devlin, Admissions Director at Stanford University

Our final 2021 event was a Celebration Reception on June 17th, during which we heard from some of the Scholarship Recipients.

 The speaker at our final 2020 event (December 15th) was Janet Childs, the founder of Bill Wilson Center’s Center for Living with Dying. Janet gave us a powerful message with practical tips on being resilient, no matter the circumstances.
