Donor Spotlights
Shannon Bradley (Nebraska-Lincoln)
Why is supporting the Gamma Phi Beta Foundation meaningful to you? Because the foundation focuses on the continuing education of our members (both collegiate and alumnae). Gamma Phi Beta has helped me in my leadership education and continues to support me in navigating current topics through educational opportunities.
What would you say to someone who is considering including the Foundation in their estate plans? I would say that if Gamma Phi Beta has touched your life in ANY way in the past, consider giving any portion of your estate to support a women’s organization that will continue to help future generations, giving these women a voice, confidence and leadership skills that make a difference in the world.
What inspired you to make a planned gift to the Tau Epsilon Pi Society? I had such a positive Gamma Phi Beta experience over the years, that I want to continue to ensure that women in the future can have those same experiences. If I am fortunate enough to have money available in my estate, why not give that money to educate our future generations?
Is there anything else you’d like to share about your journey within Gamma Phi Beta, especially as it relates to your support of the Foundation? For more than 25 years, I’ve supported myself and carved my own path. Although I have an MBA and could have pursued a traditional corporate marketing career, I chose a different direction—often at the expense of financial stability. I ran a Jazzercise business that ultimately wasn’t sustainable, then moved into travel, a full-commission field that was challenging for years. Just as I was becoming financially secure, COVID hit and income disappeared overnight. That’s why I’m especially grateful to now be in a position to support the Foundation. It’s been a long road, but absolutely worth it.
