A gift is a powerful thing. Take the Seymour Center at Long Marine Lab. Every year, thousands of people visit the center, home to approximately 400 marine animals. Children can hold a sea star, marvel at the world's largest whale skeleton—and learn to think like a scientist. The next generation will become the stewards of our coastal regions.

Their values start here. How did the Seymour Center begin? With a planned gift.

People like you support UCSC research teams as they develop solutions to critical environmental and social problems. People like you contribute to the education of future leaders—those who will become scientists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. Their impact will extend globally for decades to come.

Begin your legacy with a planned gift to UCSC. Shape and improve our world. Our planet. Our home.
