Celebrating FTJ Legacy Circle Members


On June 6, 2025, Franke Tobey Jones had the joy of gathering with Legacy Circle members at the Tacoma Country & Golf Club for a special luncheon in their honor. This meaningful event celebrated a remarkable group of individuals who have thoughtfully included Franke Tobey Jones in their estate plans, leaving a legacy of care, compassion, and community.
 
We are deeply grateful to each member who attended and to those who couldn’t join us but continue to hold FTJ close in their hearts. Their lasting commitment helps ensure that future generations of residents will receive the same exceptional care and vibrant community that defines FTJ.
 
A heartfelt thank you goes to Greg Unruh, Legacy Circle member, FTJ Board member, and Tacoma Country Club member for hosting this memorable event in such a beautiful setting!
 
Guests were also treated to an inspiring keynote address by Chris Staudinger of Pretty Gritty Tours. His talk, "Those Who Gave the Most: A Look at the Philanthropy of Early Tacoma," highlighted the quiet yet powerful contributions of individuals in Tacoma’s history—people whose names may not be widely known, but whose generosity helped shape the community we enjoy today. His reflections reminded us of the lasting impact that thoughtful giving can have, and how legacies, both large and small, can ripple through time.
 
A heartfelt thank-you goes to Greg Unruh, Legacy Circle member, FTJ Board Member, and Tacoma Country & Golf Club member—for hosting this memorable event!
