1892 Legacy Society
1892 Legacy Society
Wistar was founded in 1892 with an endowed gift from Brigadier General Isaac Jones Wistar, who had the vision and foresight to establish a long-lasting contribution to the future of medicine. Like General Wistar, our 1892 Legacy Society members are motivated by making a significant impact—leaving the world a healthier place for all.

Benefits of membership in the 1892 Legacy Society also include an annual luncheon, invitations to special events and seminars and a subscription to our newsletter.
New medical therapies are a product of biomedical research. Life-saving treatments and drugs start as a brilliant creative idea that leads to an experiment in a research lab. Research requires passion and perseverance, supported by enough philanthropic investment to transform that wonderful idea into a healing reality. Thank you for planting a seed in your estate plans to grow into a Wistar discovery for future generations.
