Planned gifts can be a thoughtful way to reach your charitable goals, gain financial advantages and create an enduring legacy of hope for CancerCare.
“To have made even one person’s life a little better, that is to succeed.” –Thoreau
At CancerCare, our mission is to provide free, professional support services to people with cancer. A simple mission, but not easy to achieve without the support of our donors.
We rely upon valued donors like you who continue to make an enormous difference in the lives of people who have been impacted by cancer.
Through planned giving vehicles, including bequests, appreciated stocks, and IRA distributions, you can create a larger impact through your philanthropy. By making a planned gift, you can also establish a lasting legacy CancerCare. Imagine the power of your gift being able to help countless people in the future as they navigate cancer. And just by including CancerCare in your estate plans.
The 1944 Legacy Society was established for those who wish to support CancerCare through estate planning. Named after the year CancerCare was established, The 1944 Legacy Society is a unique way to support CancerCare through wills and trust estate plans.
We invite you to be a part of this dedicated group of supporters whose legacy will ensure CancerCare’s future. If you have already included CancerCare in your estate plans, thank you! Please let us know today so we can enroll you in The 1944 Legacy Society.
The easiest way to remember CancerCare is through a charitable bequest - a gift made to charity through your will or trust.
