The McGraw Family

Jack and Joan McGraw, whose two sons graduated from Priory in 1980 and 1983, wanted to continue the strong tradition of Catholic education. After careful planning, they created a life-estate trust funded by their vacation home in Palm Springs, California. Their gift was structured in such a way that allowed them to retain the right to use and enjoy their vacation home with their children and grandchildren for the rest of their lives while receiving favorable tax benefits today.

“The Priory gave our sons an education that was as good as a college education.” The McGraws believe that planned giving is an investment in the future, an investment in students, and an investment in the highest-qualified faculty and staff, the community, and the world.
