38 | donorprofile Originally from Alabama, Don (L. D.) Holland moved to Atlanta after college to work for accounting firm PriceWaterhouse, now known as PwC. The insights he gained through his career empowered him to launch his own accounting and consulting firm. When the time came for Don to retire, he vowed to give back to his community. Though his career focused on accounting and law firm consulting, music has been Don’s lifelong passion. He is an avid French horn player, a proud member of the Alpharetta City Band, and a member of the Roswell New Horizons Band. Don enjoys opera’s unique confluence of dramatic theatricality, thrilling vocal performances, and beautiful orchestrations. For two decades, Holland has supported The Atlanta Opera with generous annual contributions, and he recently named The Atlanta Opera as a beneficiary of his Charitable Remainder Trust. The funds from Don’s planned gift will support The L. Donald Holland Atlanta Opera Orchestra Horn Section Endowment Fund, thus ensuring that his love for opera and the French horn will endure for generations. Planned giving can offer considerable tax savings while providing lasting income for The Atlanta Opera. Legacy contribution vehicles such as bequests, trusts, life insurance, and retirement assets allow the Opera perpetually to enrich lives through the power of our art form. We are grateful to receive generous support from our faithful legacy donors like Don Holland. To find out how to become a member of the Barbara D.
