Carrying Conservation Forward: The Lasting Impact of Monique Gershon鈥檚 Will

2025 Spring Newsletter

A will is a powerful thing, and Monique Gershon used hers to make a profound impact on 吃瓜黑料鈥檚 work. Monique and her husband Richard were 吃瓜黑料 supporters for more than 30 years, with most of their support benefiting the Iain Nicolson 吃瓜黑料 Center at Rowe Sanctuary.

Monique鈥檚 final will included generous bequests to both Rowe Sanctuary and to help fund 吃瓜黑料鈥檚 habitat conservation in New York State, where the couple made their home. While they only traveled to Rowe once, they continued to give annually and would tell 吃瓜黑料 staff how they were deeply impacted by their experience.

鈥淲e were so fortunate to have heard from the Gershons over the years,鈥 says Rowe Center Director Marcos Stoltzfus. 鈥淭o know that someone is intending to make a gift like this inspires additional supporters, and motivates our staff to succeed in our important conservation work.鈥
