Evelyn “Evie” Nelson Senior ’70

I began actively volunteering for Scripps about the time of my 40th reunion, though I had been a regular donor to Scripps since I graduated. As my volunteer work increased with my involvement in Camp Scripps and the class of 1970 reunions I deepened my relationship with the Scripps of today. I realized I also wanted to give more to the College in addition to my Scripps Fund gifts. When my husband and I revised our wills, it was only natural (and easy) to include a bequest to Scripps. Most recently, we created two Charitable Gift Annuities to provide an income stream for us in the future.

Volunteering for Scripps has allowed me to have an active and fulfilling role in the Scripps Community. By providing a bequest to Scripps and setting up Charitable Gift Annuities, I know my support of Scripps will continue after my volunteer days are over.
