The Annie Sullivan Society

The Annie Sullivan Society was established to recognize and celebrate those many thoughtful and generous individuals who have chosen to support Mass. Eye and Ear through their wills, planned gifts and estate plans.  This special group is named for Annie Sullivan, Helen Keller's devoted teacher and companion who later became known to the world as "The Miracle Worker." Nearly blind herself, Annie regained her vision only after treatment by Dr. Henry Bradford at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. This experience inspired her to commit herself to teaching the blind and deaf.

Become "A Miracle Worker"

Your legacy, of whatever size, is critically important in helping Mass. Eye and Ear provide the finest care to patients with disorders of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, head and neck. With your help, we will continue to improve the training, and expand the research that one day may prevent these diseases, or cure them entirely.

You may designate a specific purpose for your estate plan gift to Mass. Eye and Ear. Depending upon your interests, you may support patient care, research or training in ophthalmology or otolaryngology, or make an unrestricted gift that will enable the hospital to allocate the funds where they are most needed at the time they are received. You may also choose to establish your own named fund with a minimum gift of $25,000.

Please let us know if you have made a provision for Mass. Eye and Ear in your will or estate plan so we may personally thank you and welcome you into the Annie Sullivan Society.  Members receive recognition in Mass. Eye and Ear publications and invitations to hospital events.
