Leave a Legacy: the Edward W. Bok Society
In 1922, Edward W. Bok set out to create “a place of quiet and repose for the electrically-driven people of America.” Mr. Bok’s vision became an everlasting gift to the American people.

Your estate gift can help secure the Gardens’ financial future for generations to come while lessening your tax burden and maintaining control of your assets during your lifetime.
