Second Century Society: Charles R. (posthumously) and Mary M. Wright
Founded in December 2019, the Second Century Society recognizes generous benefactors who have made lifetime gifts reaching $1 million or more of philanthropic impact. The College is proud to announce Charles R. (posthumously) and Mary M. Wright as the 2024 inductees.
Charles (Chuck) and Mary Wright met at Yankton College in Yankton, South Dakota. Together, they were leading donors to The College, with an emphasis on the American College Center for Women in Financial Services.
Chuck was senior executive vice president and chief agency and marketing officer at State Farm Insurance Companies. He later served as chairman of the board of trustees and was a driving force behind the creation of the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® (CAP®) and Chartered Advisor of Senior Living® (CASL®) designations.
Mary’s years of service through philanthropy led her to complete her CAP® designation, which she would use to help others engage in philanthropic work as well. As a passionate lifelong learner, Mary continues to carry on Chuck’s legacy by laying the foundation for the Wright Fellowship under the Center for Women in Financial Services.
The College is proud to recognize Chuck and Mary’s continued impact.
