Leave
A Legacy
An important part
of every estate plan is considering the extent to which
charity should be included.
Leave A Legacy is a program
of the National Committee on Planned Giving which promotes
interest in charitable giving through a will or an estate.
Leave A Legacy works hand
in hand with area philanthropic groups, such as Newton Community
& Healthcare Foundation, to encourage charitable planned
giving.
"Newton Community &
Healthcare Foundation is one of about 30 area organizations
that support Leave A Legacy," said Pat Swartzendruber,
LAL's 2001 chairperson. "The foundation has a strong
interest in Leave A Legacy because it extends the mission
it promotes.
"Leave A Legacy is
a month-long campaign, starting the first of September,
to raise awareness in the community," added Swartzendruber.
"We try to teach individuals how they can leave a legacy
by giving charitably.
"During September we
provide a Speakers‚ Bureau — professionals who
present programs on how to give. Our capstone presentation
will be during our luncheon on September 25."
Leave A Legacy has been
serving the Harvey County area since 1998 and is receiving
contributions again this year for the public education campaign.

the Leave A Legacy campaign or to schedule a speaker, call
