The W. B. & Brandon Carrell Society
Honoring a Legacy While Creating One of Your Own
William Beal “W. B.” Carrell, one of Dallas’ first orthopedic surgeons, answered the call to help children with polio during the early stages of the epidemic’s outbreak. In pursuit of that mission, he became the hospital’s first chief of staff in 1921. His son, Brandon, followed in his footsteps in 1944, serving as the hospital’s second chief of staff. Today, the Carrells’ commitment to providing world-renowned pediatric orthopedic care continues to benefit children locally, nationally and around the world.
To honor their legacies, Scottish Rite for Children established the W. B. & Brandon Carrell Society. While paying tribute to the Carrells’ contributions, the society gives our dedicated donors the opportunity to create a charitable legacy of their own.
There are several ways you can become A member:
- Make a bequest by naming Scottish Rite for Children in your will or trust.
- Name Scottish Rite for Children a beneficiary of bank or investment accounts or an IRA, 401k or other retirement plan.
- Use life insurance to make a charitable gift as on outright contribution or beneficiary designation.
- Make a gift of stock, bonds, real estate, business shares, oil and gas rights or other assets through your estate.
- Create a charitable life income arrangement to provide you with income and in many cases, a tax deduction.
