  JOIN THE J. ROBERT ATKINSON HERITAGE SOCIETY
  Image of John and Mary Longyear Support for Braille Institute's programs comes from many sources. Bequests, however, remain the most significant means by which Braille Institute receives the financial support necessary to provide services to the growing numbers of individuals who come to us for help. The thoughtful planning of generous and often anonymous individuals makes much of Braille Institute's work possible.

Occasionally, those who make bequests to Braille Institute are unknown to us. We do not learn of their generosity until after they have passed on, leaving us unable to express our gratitude in person. In an effort to ensure that Braille Institute will have the opportunity to say "thank you" to all our benefactors, the Braille Institute J. Robert Atkinson Heritage Society was established.

Named after Braille Institute's founder, The J. Robert Atkinson Heritage Society is our way of honoring those individuals who have provided for Braille Institute's future through a Will, Trust or Charitable Gift Annuity. If you have included Braille Institute in your estate plans, we invite you to register as a J. Robert Atkinson Heritage Society member.

As a member, you will be recognized in the Braille Institute J. Robert Atkinson Heritage Society honor roll at each of our centers, receive a beautiful framed certificate of membership, receive our Heritage newsletter and be invited to participate at special Braille Institute events.
