CPA’s Love of French Horn and Opera Inspires Gift
Don Holland
Originally hailing from Alabama, Don (L.D.) Holland moved to Atlanta after college to work for CPA firm PriceWaterhouse (now PWC). The insights he gained through his career empowered him to launch his own CPA/consulting firm. When the time came for Don to retire, he vowed to give back to his community. Though his career focused on accounting and law firm consulting, music has been Don’s lifelong passion. He is an avid French horn player and a proud member of the Alpharetta City Band and the Roswell New Horizons Band.
Don enjoys opera’s unique confluence of dramatic theatricality, thrilling vocal performances, and beautiful orchestrations. For two decades, Don has supported The Atlanta Opera with generous annual contributions, and he recently named The Atlanta Opera as a beneficiary of his charitable remainder trust. The funds from Don’s planned gift will support The L. Donald Holland Atlanta Opera Orchestra Horn Section Endowment Fund, thus ensuring that his love for opera and the French horn will endure for generations.
Planned giving can offer considerable tax savings while providing lasting income for The Atlanta Opera. Legacy contribution vehicles include bequests, trusts, life insurance, and retirement assets. We are grateful to receive support from our faithful legacy donors like Don Holland. To find out how to become a member of the Barbara D.
