Philanthropy has a lasting impact on many lives throughout South Dakota. The South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) works to simplify philanthropy and help charitable donations do more good within our state. One way we do this is by partnering with professional advisors who comprise our Key Club.

SDCF President & CEO Stephanie Judson recently joined Key Club member Patrick Goetzinger for a conversation about his work in estate planning as a Key Club member. Pat has partnered with SDCF to make many clients’ philanthropic dreams come true, but some especially memorable clients to work with were Fred and Luella Cozad.

Fred Cozad established the Cozad Law Office, where Luella served as secretary. The Cozad Law Office operated as a steadfast main street practice in the Martin, SD community for sixty-five years, where Fred served in many capacities, including judge, and state’s attorney.

In this episode, you will hear:

The legacy of Fred and Luella Cozad, and the importance of main street lawyers in rural areas
Fred’s impact on Pat’s choice to become a lawyer
The ways in which Key Club Members partner with SDCF to implement philanthropic wishes for their clients

“Other than my parents, Fred and Luella were incredibly influential in the career path that I chose in life,” “shared Patrick, “I wanted to be the kind of person and lawyer that would make Fred, Luella, and my parents proud.”
