The planned giving program at USS provides an excellent opportunity to facilitate long-term support of an organization that aspires to help our athletes realize their potential and strive to achieve their athletic goals of being the best in the world. From the initial smiles and joy that accompany a young person’s delight on skis or a snowboard early in their career, to similar smiles that adorn the medal winner’s face on the Olympic podium, USS provides support and programming on myriad fronts along the way. Provisioning for the resources needed on these fronts requires long-term commitments and consistent support. The USS planned giving program will play a meaningful part of the resources needed to ensure that tomorrow’s athletes will have the support needed to pursue and achieve their dreams, and I am proud to have the opportunity to be a part of it.
