Planning Your Gift<br />
The Expanding Our Legacy Capital Campaign offers a wide range<br />
of opportunities for donors at all levels to make a difference in<br />
the lives of present and future <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Pius</strong> X students.<br />
You can participate in the campaign by making a pledge that<br />
permits both flexibility and time to complete the payment. Because<br />
the campaign is urgent, we have asked that all pledges be<br />
fulfilled by December 2011. In some cases, you may require<br />
a longer time to complete your commitment, and if so, we are<br />
pleased to work with you to arrange such a gift.<br />
There are a variety of ways you can make a gift to Expanding<br />
Our Legacy. Each presents certain advantages. All are tax deductible<br />
within the limits specified by the IRS code. We would<br />
recommend that you consult with an attorney or financial advisor<br />
when planning your commitment.<br />
Gifts may be made with cash, check, credit card, or through automatic<br />
transfer from your checking or savings account. Cash gifts<br />
qualify for a charitable deduction in the year they are given.<br />
Gifts of Appreciated Securities held for more than one year<br />
permit a donor to use the full value of the security at the time<br />
of donation as a tax deduction, while avoiding the capital gains<br />
tax that would be imposed if the security were sold.<br />
Gifts of Property, including residence, farm, vacation home,<br />
jewelry, art, etc. can provide significant benefits to the school<br />
and to the donor. The specialized help of appraisers and tax<br />
advisors is necessary to make such a gift.<br />
Gifts of Life Insurance can provide a way to make a sizeable gift<br />
at a relatively low cost. Again consulting with your attorney or<br />
tax advisor is important.<br />
Bequests and Life Payment Plans are excellent ways to participate<br />
in the campaign at levels you might not ordinarily consider.<br />
These include a bequest in one’s will as well as various trust<br />
instruments.<br />
The main consideration in making any type of gift to the campaign<br />
is to find a way that brings joy to you and your family—joy in<br />
supporting a cause in which you believe.<br />
If you have any questions regarding the planning of your gift<br />
to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Pius</strong> X, please contact the Development Office at 404-<br />
633-4290, or visit the Web site at www.spx.org and click on the<br />

New Memorial<br />
Scholarship Funds<br />
Edwin J. Collins Memorial Fund<br />
After her husband’s passing<br />
in April 2009, Mrs.<br />
Sheila Collins established a<br />
memorial scholarship fund<br />
in his honor—the Edwin<br />
J. Collins Memorial Fund.<br />
The Collins family first<br />
joined the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Pius</strong> community<br />
in 1980 when Ed<br />
and Sheila enrolled their<br />
eldest daughter Kathleen<br />
as a freshman. Shortly<br />
thereafter Sheila began<br />
volunteering, first as a cafeteria mom and then in the Candy<br />
Shack. She was offered a position in the copy room in 1984 and<br />
has served in that capacity ever since. Sheila and Ed have been<br />
long-time supporters of the school. All four of their children<br />
are graduates of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Pius</strong> X: Kathleen ’84, Sheila ’86, Ed ’90,<br />
and Maureen ’97. If you would like to donate to the Memorial<br />
Fund in honor of Ed Collins, please contact the Development<br />
Office at 404-633-4290.<br />
Gene Reiley Memorial Fund<br />
Mr. Gene Reiley, husband<br />
of retired <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Pius</strong> X employee<br />
Mrs. Pat Reiley,<br />
passed away on May 31,<br />
2009. The Reiley family<br />
has been a part of the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Pius</strong> X community for over<br />
30 years. Pat Reiley first<br />
became involved with <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Pius</strong> X in 1977 when she<br />
worked as a volunteer for<br />
the annual auction. Over<br />
the years, Gene and Pat<br />
were strong supporters of our school and avid volunteers. In<br />
1985, Pat was offered a full time position in our burgeoning<br />
development office and worked until her retirement in 2001.<br />
She and Gene sent four children through <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Pius</strong> X: Trish ’81,<br />
Terri ’83, Gene ’85, and Peter ’98. If you would like to donate<br />
to the Memorial Fund in honor of Gene Reiley, please contact<br />
the Development Office at 404-633-4290.<br />
