Leighton (Leigh) Sayers, class of 1968, has been a loyal supporter of Tiffin University for a decade. He is a member of the Tiffin Society (formerly known as the President’s Club) and he has recently extended his support by becoming a member of the Hazel Franks Society.
Hazel Craycraft Franks, TU class of 1941, was a spirited entrepreneur, businesswoman and loyal friend. This society is composed of members who have included TU as a beneficiary in a planned or estate gift. By including the university in his plan, his gift will create a lasting legacy which will help students achieve their dreams and lead successful lives.
“A degree opens many doors for employment and career advancement in today’s world,” says Leigh.
However, in an era when the cost of higher education is on the rise, there is a great need for more accessible education. Financial help, such as scholarships, can be life changing. Planned and estate gifts allow students to continue their education and provide them the opportunity to succeed.
“I included TU in my will to benefit future students,” Leigh says. “One day, my legacy gift will assist students who qualify for financial aid.” Leigh’s planned gift to Tiffin University will be in memory of his beloved parents.
Reflecting on his experience at TU, Leigh smiles with happiness. “I came from a large metropolitan city in Canada to a small college town in Ohio. I met many wonderful people and had a positive learning experience.”
