BENEFACTORS SOCIETY


The Benefactors Society is Friends Select School's leadership-giving program that recognizes individuals who provide significant annual support to the school.

The exceptional generosity of these donors enables Friends Select to retain talented faculty, respond to the programmatic needs of its students, and continue to offer an education that instills values for "the whole of life."

We invite you to become a member of the Benefactors Society by making a gift of $1,000 or more to the Friends Select Fund.

DICK HOFFMAN CIRCLE


The Dick Hoffman Circle of long-term contributors honors Dick Hoffman’s dedicated service to Friends Select School. 

These donors are particularly noteworthy because of the consistent, enduring nature of their contributions. They have offered financial support to the important work of Friends Select for 10 or more years. Much like Dick Hoffman himself, these donors have made a significant impact on the vitality of Friend Select for a substantial portion of its history. Their loyal commitment is deeply appreciated.

PRIZE WETZEL LEGACY SOCIETY


The Price Wetzel Legacy Society, Friends Select School’s planned giving society, honors generous members of the community who include the school in their will or who have created a planned gift for the benefit of Friends Select. Planned gifts include bequest intentions, charitable IRA rollover, gifts of stock, life insurance, and other forms of deferred giving.

The Price Wetzel Legacy Society is named for Peter O. Price ’58 and Julia H. Wetzel ’27, who both chose to support Friends Select School with generous gifts through their estates. The education they received from Friends Select was their motivation to give back, and their gifts are symbols of their confidence in and commitment to the future of the school.
