Couple Uses Life Insurance to Create Scholarship

Don Beeson '59 and his wife, Ann, have named Northwest as the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy for the Donald D. and Ann Beeson Scholarship for International Student Teaching. This scholarship is one of many ways the Des Moines, Iowa, couple have shown their dedication to Northwest.

Not only has Don served three terms as president of the Northwest Foundation, but the Beesons' financial support to Northwest places them in the James H. Lemon Society, the Centennial Society and the 1905 Society.

In 1985, Don worked with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations to help jump-start Northwest's fundraising efforts. As a result, a deferred giving through life insurance program was created. This program enables Northwest alumni and friends to make substantial gifts of life insurance policies to the Foundation.

Following service in the U.S. Air Force, Don attended Northwest where he was involved in Tau Kappa Epsilon, the Union Board and the Vets Club as he completed his degree in business administration and accounting. He entered the life insurance industry in 1959 and, after 40 years, retired as a senior agent for The Principal Financial Group in Des Moines. Ann had an 18-year career in the banking industry. She and Don enjoy traveling and being involved in the lives of their children and grandchildren.

A gift of life insurance is an easy way to ensure a legacy for future Bearcats. Call Northwest at (660) 562-1248 to learn more.
