My wife and I have joined the Heritage Circle because of DU’s positive influence on our lives. We applaud DU’s forward-thinking leadership development programs and are honored to establish an educational program fund for the Florida Chapter with our future estate gift. Developing young leaders and giving them the opportunity to practice the elements of civic leadership in collegiate fraternal organizations is essential.
Heritage Circle
The Heritage Circle honors living brothers and their families who have chosen to include the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation as a beneficiary in their will or estate plans. The prestigious society includes brothers who have committed to Building Better Men for generations to come, and Heritage Circle members are honored on a permanent plaque at the Fraternity's International Headquarters.

With a documented estate gift of $100,000, Brother Oliff’s example shows that it is never to early to solidify one’s estate plans. His commitment—along with a $5,000 cash gift—will advance the Fraternity’s educational programs for future DUs.
Terry J. LaBrue, Fresno State ’72

$100,000 Estate Gift
Brother Knies has named DU as a beneficiary of his IRA, which will result in an estate gift of $100,000 for the Ignite The Charge Campaign. Beginning with his first cash gift of $50 in 1982, Brother Knies will build better men forever thanks to his estate gift.
Stephen R. Blozis, Ohio State ’80
$54,000 Estate Gift
A lifelong supporter of the Annual Loyalty Fund, Brother Blozis will now leave a legacy for future generations of DUs with a $54,000 estate gift. His commitment will be used to provide more undergraduates with award-winning educational programming.
New Lester Cox Benefactor
Lester Cox Benefactors are deceased alumni whose realized estate gifts are used to advance the Fraternity’s educational mission. This prestigious society is named in memory of Lester E. Cox, Pennsylvania 1898, who provided a transformational bequest to Delta Upsilon in 1971. His estate gift led to the construction of the International Fraternity Headquarters in Indianapolis where a plaque memorializes all Lester Cox Benefactors. Alumni who provide lasting generosity with estate gifts are truly Building Better Men forever.
Dr. Allan M. Lansing, Western Ontario ’53
$50,000 Estate Gift
Brother Allan Lansing passed away on July 17, 2022, leaving behind a notable legacy thanks to his life, personal character, and accomplishments as a pioneering cardiac surgeon. A 2009 Founder's Medal recipient, Brother Lansing served on the DUEF Board of Trustees from 2002-2007 and continued to give his time and treasure to his beloved Fraternity. Thanks to his unrestricted estate gift, Brother Lansing will continue Building Better Men for generations to come, and his gift is a testament to his love of Western Ontario and his adopted Louisville Chapter.
