* We would like to express our deepest condolences to the families of our Tocqueville members who have passed away.

“Western New York is in the midst of an unprecedented revitalization, and a strong community needs strong people and strong leaders. When people have access to quality education, quality work and good health, we are all better for it, which is why the Tocqueville Society is so critical to the success of our community.�

Howard Zemsky

Managing Partner, Larkin Development Group

Philanthropists of the Year Howard & Leslie Zemsky

Conversation about Buffalo’s rebound from its rust belt image is often heady with idealism and hope. However, it sometimes overlooks the most important element in our community’s renaissance: the people who are making ideals a reality. People like Howard and Leslie Zemsky embody commitment to progress and inspire all of Western New York.

Endowment & Planned Giving Program In Gratitude United Way of Buffalo & Erie County is honored and deeply grateful to be the recipient of a very generous and unexpected $2.7 million endowment gift from the estate of Mrs. Peggy Elfvin, widow of the late Judge John Elfvin. Judge Elfvin passed away in 2009 and Mrs. Elfvin passed away in October of 2012. The Elfvins were longtime supporters of United Way and members of the Tocqueville Society.

This undesignated bequest— by far the largest gift our United Way has ever received—will be placed in United Way’s Endowment Fund to help support longterm financial stability, future programming initiatives and ongoing operating costs.

Planned Giving

Gayle Barton Director of Major Gifts 887-2750 gayle.barton@uwbec.org 46 | uwbec.org

Leaving a Legacy Over the past year, United Way has begun to create an Endowment and Planned Giving program to help ensure the longevity of our life-changing programs, collaborations and initiatives, in addition to offsetting some of the essential operating costs that support the work we do in our key platform areas and beyond.

The development of a robust endowment fund will help maximize the amount of donor dollars that can be directed toward critical programs that help people in need in Western New York and strengthen the entire community.

It will also help to alleviate some of the day-to-day costs, allowing our skilled staff and extensive network of volunteers to concentrate on addressing the community’s most pressing issues. Please consider United Way in your estate plan.

To c q u e v i l l e So c i e t y Legacy Circle

The United Way Tocqueville Society Legacy Circle honors current Tocqueville members who have also made legacy commitments of $200,000 or more. We are tremendously grateful to the following people for their generous legacy contributions. Together their gifts total over $1.1 million, ensuring that the impact of their charitable giving will be felt for generations to come.

Sandi H.*, Buffalo, NY During my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and was told I had to be hospitalized immediately. With other children at home, and my husband at work at his new job, I was scared and didn’t know what to do.

I decided to go to Jericho Road Ministries and get help from the Priscilla Project—a United Way funded program that helps pregnant refugee women live a healthy lifestyle during and after pregnancy. The staff took action right away. They called my husband’s office to explain the situation so his employer would give him the time he needed to care for our children. They checked me into the hospital, explained the process to me, and helped me communicate with staff so I could select healthy food for my meals. I’m happy to say that I delivered a healthy baby two months later, and my whole family is doing well.

Thank you for rewriting my story. *Names and images have been changed for confidentiality.

Nate & MacKenzie M.*, South Buffalo, NY My sister MacKenzie and I have a very difficult family life. Because of all the problems at home, we weren’t doing very well in school or behaving like we should. But for the past two years, we’ve been going to Valley Community Association’s Striving for Excellence Youth Program, which is funded by United Way. The staff is kind to us and they help us deal with all the bad stuff going on in our lives.

My sister and I are getting good grades now, doing our homework every day, and going to afterschool activities. Knowing we have adults in our life that we can count on makes a big difference.

Thank you for rewriting our story. *Names and images have been changed for confidentiality.

Creating Assets, Savings & Hope (CASH)

Healthy Start, Healthy Future for All Coalition

Second Act
