The Boltwood Society A Special Community
Of Supporters for Evanston Township High School
If you value your Evanston Township High School experience, we cordially invite you to
become a member of the Boltwood Society. Named for the first principal of ETHS, a man
committed to upholding the highest standards in academia, the Boltwood Society seeks to
ensure his legacy and maintain the school’s hallmark of excellence.
You can join this special group of supporters by including the ETHS Educational Foundation in
your will or trust, or through some other form of deferred giving. As a member of the Boltwood
Society, you will receive annual stewardship updates, priority invitations to foundation events
and our exclusive school crest sterling pin. If you have already included Evanston Township High
School in your estate plan, please let us know. We wish to welcome you. If you have not yet
made your commitment, please give it some thought. Your decision to join will positively impact
the academic experience of our students for generations to come.
Consider one
of the simplest
ways to support
our mission –
name Evanston
Township High
School Educational
Foundation as a
beneficiary in
your will.
Thank You for
Your Gifts
Your support is a testament
to your belief that
quality public education
is a critical component of
a thriving community.
How to Make a Gift in Your Will
□ Decide what amount or percentage you want to give. A percentage gift ensures that the size
of your gift will remain proportionate to the size of your estate, no matter how it fluctuates over
the years.
□ Take this suggested bequest language to your estate planning attorney to add to your will: I give
to Evanston Township High School Educational Foundation, Evanston, Ill., (the sum of $_____
or _____ percent of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate) for its general purposes.
□ Work with your estate planning attorney to update your existing estate plan with a codicil or
to begin developing your estate plan.
□ Notify us of your intention, if you would like, so our staff can thank you for your future gift and
keep you informed of our ongoing activities.
