Build a Legacy For Little Lives
Everyone wants to leave a legacy, something they will be remembered for.
Legacy giving creates a vision of hope for the next generation. Your donations help today’s sick kids but they also help ensure the advanced treatment and diagnosis for future patients.
We recommend you speak with your family about your legacy giving intentions and consult your financial and legal advisors prior to including a charitable donation in your financial and estate planning.
