Legacies of Healing Society

Ensuring the health of our children. There's no greater gift you can give.

Join the Legacies of Healing Society
The Children's Hospital Foundation has created an exclusive membership program to recognize a very special group of donors. It's called the Legacies of Healing Society, and it's reserved for those who have made a provision in their estate plan for a gift to Children's Hospital.

The Society is open to anyone wishing to partner with the Hospital in a substantial way through his or her estate. It provides us an opportunity to recognize a donor's commitment to a hospital that's given so much to our community.

Leave Your Legacy
A bequest often offers the opportunity to make a more substantial gift than would be possible during one’s lifetime. If you have assets that have appreciated significantly, it may not be possible or advisable to use these assets to make an outright contribution. These assets can be designated instead to a planned gift to maximize tax and other financial benefits.

By becoming a member of the Legacies of Healing Society, you’ll join a very special group of people who are committed to creating a legacy for the children of our community.

Membership Benefits
As a Legacies of Healing Society member, your charitable gift will be used to help Children’s Hospital continue to provide the highest levels of health care to the children of Central California. Funds can be designated to support any area of the Hospital you choose, or wherever the need is greatest.

•    Special recognition at the annual Legacies of Healing Society celebration.
•    Regular hospital updates through our E-Newsletter.
•    VIP invitations to receptions and other social events sponsored by Children’s Hospital Central California.
