The Legacy Society was created to honor and thank individuals and families who have made gifts to PBS SoCal through their will, trust, retirement plan or estate.

By using the power of public media, PBS SoCal strives to foster a love of learning, culture and community throughout Southern California. Support from donors and Legacy Society members like you ensures access to public media for thousands of families well into the future.

Legacy Society members receive recognition on air, online and in print material, and the opportunity to become more involved with PBS SoCal through special donor events that include insider conversations with on air talent and preview screenings of upcoming productions.

To become a member of the PBS SoCal Legacy Society or to request additional information, please contact Mary Ordog at 747-201-5473 or plannedgiving@pbssocal.org.

Please allow us to show our gratitude by letting us know you have included a gift to PBS SoCal in your future plans.

Or, if you would like to do so, you may also drop us a note at:
PBS SoCal
2900 W. Alameda Ave., Suite 500, Burbank, CA 91505
