LONG-TIME FOUNDATION SUPPORTER TOBEY E. LANNERT PASSED AWAY ON JUNE 5, 2026 Her friendly face in the audience was a familiar and welcome sight at Forbeck events for years. Her family selected the Forbeck Foundation for memorials in lieu of flowers. We were honored to be chosen, and the donations made in her honor are a fitting tribute. She will be greatly missed.

A LEGACY THAT LIVES ON The names on this page arrived here in different ways, and each one has a story behind it. Some belong to people who showed up for the Foundation year after year, sitting in the audience at Forums, mentoring Scholars, writing checks because they believed in the work. Others are names a donor chose simply because someone they loved mattered to them, whether or not that person ever knew the Forbeck Foundation existed. Both are gifts in the truest sense. A donation made in someone’s honor or memory takes a personal bond and turns it into something bigger than either person alone, a Scholar’s stipend, a seat at a Forum table, a nudge toward the next discovery. Tobey Lannert understood that. It’s part of why she gave so generously for so long. She may not be here to see where the next breakthrough leads, but she knew, just like everyone whose name appears here, that the gift was worth giving anyway.
