It is with great pleasure and honor that we introduce the Lovett Legacy Society. Named for a man who tirelessly and generously supported a bold vision for a space that would bring science to life and lives to science for generations to come, members of the Lovett Legacy Society will embody that vision.

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure to meet Dr. J. Robert Lovett, or Bob as he is better known, he is the founding chair of Da Vinci Science Center and emeritus trustee. To the broader Lehigh Valley community he was a leader who championed a variety of causes and especially advocated for children. Dr. Lovett’s career path, which traversed the worlds of scientific research and business, and his great appreciation of the arts in many ways is emblematic of Leonardo Da Vinci’s desire to dissolve the boundaries between science and the arts. It is this same belief that Dr. Lovett wants to ensure the science center continues to promote, following in the footsteps of Leonardo and inspiring the next generation of creative thinkers and community builders.

“As a longtime supporter of the Da Vinci Science Center it brings me great joy to announce the creation of the Lovett Legacy Society and to lend my name to a most necessary initiative. Future support for our reserves is essential. This paves the way for the creation of a future endowment enabling us to sustain and grow the Da Vinci Science Center for generations to come. This is personal for me, and I am supporting this new society with a charitable trust created to lift up the Da Vinci Science Center. It is important for me to pay it forward to help support all visitors and students with a curiosity to learn and reach for the stars. I invite you all to join me by adding Da Vinci to your estate plans and to help ‘Bring Science to Life and Lives to Science.”
