La Salle receives an anonymous bequest worth $1.5M

La Salle High School is honored to receive a planned gift from one of our alumni worth $1.5 million. 

“We could not be more blessed,” Brian Heidorn, director of alumni relations, shared. “Having graduates willing to leave a legacy for future Lancers in a place that meant so much to them is humbling.”

The anonymous donor, an alumnus who walked the halls during the 1980s, shared that he was called to serve after talking with Ken Barlag, former La Salle development director, at an alumni event years ago. Barlag asked guests if they’d be the men they are today if it wasn’t for La Salle.

“The answer to that question, for me, was very easy,” the donor said. “La Salle has had a profound impact on who I am and what I have accomplished in the world. Everyone who has had the privilege to attend La Salle should consider giving something back to the school that gave them so much."

“The ongoing, generous support of our alumni is inspiring,” Principal Aaron Marshall said. “The immeasurable amount of passion our donors have for La Salle has a tremendous impact on all current and future Lancers.”  

Planned gifts like this help us improve our school and the student experience for all of our students and future Lancers. For more information on making a planned gift, please visit lasallehs.net/give/ways-to-give/.
