We are proud to announce that The Hewitt School has received a significant planned gift from the estate of Nikki Finke, Class of 1971. An acclaimed journalist and influential figure in Hollywood, Nikki's generous contribution to her alma mater not only honors her remarkable legacy but also underscores the vital role of estate gifts in supporting the future of Hewitt.
Nikki Finke was known for her groundbreaking work in journalism, particularly in entertainment reporting. She founded the widely read Deadline Hollywood, which became a primary source for film and television industry news. Finke's fearless approach to journalism and her ability to break stories made her a respected voice in a competitive landscape, and she paved the way for many women in media. Her contributions to the industry were recognized with numerous awards, and her influence is felt to this day.
The Daffodil Society
Hewitt is excited to announce the launch of The Daffodil Society, a planned giving society aimed at raising awareness about the importance of estate gifts and the lasting impact they can have on the School’s future. We invite all community members to consider including The Hewitt School in their estate planning and look forward to sharing stories of how planned gifts support the next generation of game changers and ethical leaders at Hewitt. Joining The Daffodil Society can be accomplished through various means, including bequests, charitable trusts, retirement plans, life insurance policies, or appreciated securities.
We encourage individuals to consult with their financial advisors to explore the best options for their contributions.
