LEGACY GIVING – LEAVE YOUR MARK WITH GILDA’S CLUB.
Everything that touches our lives leaves its mark. Just like our unique thumbprints—each telling a story, etched with distinct whorls and lines. You can leave your thumbprint on the lives of thousands of families living with cancer in the future with a legacy gift. Consider joining this society, which honors those individuals who have included Gilda’s in their estate plans.
At Gilda’s Club, when participants join our support groups, they press their thumbprints into clay. This simple act creates a lasting reminder of their contributions to one another’s journeys. Each impression remains in our support group room, symbolizing the enduring presence of everyone who walks through our doors—whether they become survivors and move on or their journeys come to an end. The smooth stones with their unique ridges serve as poignant reminders of the ways they have touched the lives of others.
Through our Thumbprints Legacy Society, we honor this powerful idea. A legacy gift is a wonderful option that benefits Gilda’s Club for years to come and even offers you tax advantages! It could be as straightforward as naming us as a beneficiary on your retirement account or life insurance policy, or including us in your will or trust. Some opt for appreciated securities or IRA gifts — fantastic choices for those over 70. Be sure to chat with your attorney or financial advisor for personalized advice on how to create a lasting legacy.
By joining, you help weave a tapestry of compassion and resilience within our community. Your support not only honors individual stories but also ensures that no one faces cancer alone. Together, we cultivate a nurturing sanctuary for all those affected by this disease, empowering each other and shaping a brighter future for those in need. Leave your mark. Join us in creating a legacy of hope and support.
