51�������

A will is a powerful thing, and Monique Gershon used hers to make a profound impact on 51�������’s work. Monique and her husband Richard were 51������� supporters for more than 30 years, with most of their support benefiting the Iain Nicolson 51������� Center at Rowe Sanctuary.

Monique’s final will included generous bequests to both Rowe Sanctuary and to help fund 51�������’s habitat conservation in New York State, where the couple made their home. While they only traveled to Rowe once, they continued to give annually and would tell 51������� staff how they were deeply impacted by their experience.

“We were so fortunate to have heard from the Gershons over the years,” says Rowe Center Director Marcos Stoltzfus. “To know that someone is intending to make a gift like this inspires additional supporters, and motivates our staff to succeed in our important conservation work.”
