Leaving a Legacy
Many plastic surgeons have chosen to affirm their life’s work by leaving a legacy to the future of the specialty. You can provide your own gift to support innovation and excellence in the specialty forever by making one or more of the following commitments:
- Contributing a major gift of cash, appreciated assets or similar tangible property,
- Naming The PSF in your will,
- Making The PSF an irrevocable beneficiary of an insurance policy,
- Selecting The PSF as a beneficiary of a number of available charitable estate tools
As you consider your plans, we want let you know that The PSF has several recognition societies for friends who have chosen leave a permanent expression of their commitment to the future of plastic surgery.
The Maliniac Circle - Maliniac Fellows have made a minimum $100,000 deferred gift commitment or a $50,000 outright contribution to the National Endowment for Plastic Surgery or The Plastic Surgery Foundation.
The Heritage Society – Heritage Society members have committed a deferred gift of $20,000 - $49,999.
The Legacy Club – Members of the Legacy Club have pledged a deferred gift of less than $20,000.

Dr. Stephan and Viviane Leao-Baker
"Continued excellence and leadership in our cherished profession of plastic surgery requires personal and financial involvement. Not only is this an investment in ourselves, but in those who will follow us."
Dr. Brentley and Diane Buchele
"Diane and I agreed that plastic surgery has played an integral part of our lives and the contribution to the National Endowment for Plastic Surgery allows us to both pay back and reach forward. We view a contribution to the National Endowment as insurance for Plastic Surgery so that future generations of plastic surgeons would have the same opportunities and perhaps better ones that I do because the field of plastic surgery is protected."
Dr. Sepehr Egrari
"We are a field that improves peoples’ lives in so many ways. Through The PSF we can give back to this amazing field."
Dr. Scot and Alisa Glasberg
"The future of the specialty of Plastic Surgery is dependent upon advocacy, research and education to maintain its vision and goals. Giving to Endowment as a Maliniac Fellow allows an ASPS member to not only create a lasting vestige of their commitment to the specialty but also to preserve these three core principles and initiatives will last long in to the future."
Dr. Richard and Robin Greco
"We looked upon our donation as an investment in the future of plastic surgery. Innovation and excellence sets us apart from the rest. The National Endowment will help fund the research needed to allow plastic surgery to grow into areas that we can only dream of today."
Dr. Karol and Ellen Gutowski
"I committed to the Maliniac Circle for two reasons: 1. To ensure that our specialty continues to be innovative and flourish in the future.2. To give back to our specialty for the wonderful opportunity it has given to me to be a plastic surgeon."
Dr. Ronald and Virginia Iverson
"Plastic surgery is a specialty that contributes to the physical and mental health of society. It deserves our support for that and the satisfying life it has provided our family and ourselves. It is always important to give something back for the benefits one receives."

Dr. Brian Kinney
"The Maliniac Circle venerates the best of what plastic surgery can be. Alone, each of us contributes, but together we achieve greatness for our patients whom we serve. To participate is to ensure the future of our specialty. I did not want to forgo this opportunity."
Dr. Margaret and Stephen Skiles
"Ours is a small specialty so it is incumbent upon us to look ahead so that patients in the future will have access to state-of-the-art plastic surgery and qualified plastic surgeons."
Dr. Anne Taylor and David Heutel
"I like to give to causes that I believe in and in organizations that I know will put the gift to good use. For the average practicing plastic surgeon, research is not part of a daily routine, but we all know how important it is for our specialty and our future. Making a Maliniac Gift is a way to support the research that we can’t do ourselves, but that needs to be done-so I am confident that my gift is going to be safeguarded and used wisely."
Dr. Amy Wandel
“You give of yourself and make someone else’s life better, and there is a side of me that says we do that because it’s the right thing to do. But there’s also a very practical side: If we don’t support plastic surgery research, we will be left behind by
other specialties."
