COTT AND KAY FOX
CREATE A LASTING
TRIBUTE TO THE
BOND BETWEEN PETS,
THEIR OWNERS, AND
THEIR VETERINARIANS
A
s confirmed animal lovers themselves,
Cottrell and Kay Fox learned long ago
to recognize—and to treasure—veterinarians
with a true dedication to the deep
bond between animals and humans. The Foxes
found Dr. James Schuessler and Dr. Fred Bendick,
Jr., to be consummate veterinary medical
professionals who exhibited great sensitivity in
caring for animals and for working with their
owners as well.
The best tribute to these two St. Louis veterinarians,
the Foxes decided, would be to help instill
the same qualities in succeeding generations of
veterinarians. With that in mind, the Foxes have
established in their estate plan a generous endowment
for state-of-the-art medical and
surgical care at the MU Veterinary Medical
Teaching Hospital. Their endowment also
provides subsidies to offset the cost of care for
companion animal patients, and for ongoing
improvements at the hospital.
Dr. Schuessler and Dr. Bendick are both graduates
of MU’s College of Veterinary Medicine, now
increasingly regarded as one of the nation’s best
veterinary schools. This gift from the Foxes will do
a great deal to ensure that the kind of work they
have done will go on for a long time to come.
Planned giving approaches can help you create
a legacy that makes a real difference.
