Donor Events

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the Academy soon!

Eastwood Associates Appreciation
Wednesday, February 24 | 2-3PM 

To thank and honor our Eastwood Associates, the Academy’s legacy giving society, we host a special program to provide insider updates, say thank you, and show our appreciation. Eastwood Associates are those who have disclosed their intentions to provide for the future of science through a beneficiary designation in their will, trust, IRA, or with other assets.

This year Scott D. Sampson, PHD, will share the Academy’s new strategic vision. Participants will be able to join through their computers or listen by telephone and will receive a care package in advance of the event. After the program, we will have chat rooms set up to let those who wish to stay to connect with their Academy friends and provide ways to offer feedback on the new vision.

Please RSVP by February 12 to receive the link to the event and your mailed care package.

To receive future event invitations directly, or to learn more about how you can include the Academy in your estate plan, please contact us at eastwoodassociates@calacademy.org. We look forward to working with you.
