CHARMAINE & GEORGE TANG

When Tyler Tang ’24 entered St. Mark’s in 2016, his parents, George and Charmaine, began looking to find ways to get connected with the Marksmen community.

After a few years of volunteering in a multitude of ways, Charmaine found her way to the St. Mark’s Development Committee; an important subcommittee to the Board of Trustees tasked with helping move the mission of the School forward.

Joining the Menter B. Terrill Society—the School’s society for legacy giving—is a way for alumni, parents and friends to honor St. Mark’s in their long-term estate planning. Legacy gifts allow the School to provide resources necessary to sustain a long tradition of exceptional educational and unique personal growth opportunities.

“We wanted to provide a legacy and impact that would last beyond our son’s time at St. Mark’s,” Charmaine said.

For George and Charmaine, joining The Terrill Society was a monumental step in their relationship with St. Mark’s.
