Leaving A Legacy

Nearly 170 guests attended the Newton area Leave a Legacy luncheon in late September at the Prairie View Recreation Center.

Keynote speaker was Scott Blakesley, the current president of the National Committee on Planned Giving. Blakesley is a partner in the Kansas City law firm of Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin, LLP, and chair of the firm's Estate Planning, Trusts & Estates practice group.

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. Working hand-in-hand with area philanthropic groups, such as Newton Community & Healthcare Foundation, the campaign encourages charitable planned giving.

"Leave A Legacy is a month-long campaign to raise awareness in the community," said Pat Swartzendruber, LAL's 2001 chairperson. "We try to teach individuals how they can leave a legacy by giving charitably."

Leave A Legacy has been serving the Harvey County area since 1998. Newton Community & Healthcare Foundation is one of about 30 area organizations that support Leave A Legacy.
