National Make-A-Will Month: Leaving a Legacy of Hope

August is National Make-A-Will Month, a meaningful reminder to plan for the future, protect the people we love, and reflect on the causes that matter most to us.

Creating a will is an important step in caring for your family and ensuring your wishes are honored. It is also an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy that reflects your values. For supporters of ThriveWell Cancer Foundation, planned giving offers a powerful way to continue making an impact for cancer patients and families in our community for generations to come.

A legacy gift to ThriveWell helps ensure that future patients have access to critical support when they need it most. Through financial assistance, transportation, wellness programs, lodging support, counseling, and cancer research funding, ThriveWell works every day to ease the burdens of cancer and remind patients that they are not alone.

Planned giving is not limited to large estates. Gifts of any size can make a meaningful difference. Whether through a bequest in your will, a beneficiary designation, or another estate planning option, your generosity can help sustain ThriveWell’s mission well into the future.

Your legacy can help provide:

  1. Financial assistance for patients facing the overwhelming costs of cancer treatment.
  2. Transportation support so patients can get to and from life-saving appointments.
  3. Wellness programs that help patients rebuild strength, confidence, and quality of life.
  4. Lodging and patient support for those who must travel or overcome barriers to care.
  5. Cancer research funding that helps advance hope for future patients and families.

Behind every legacy gift is the opportunity to change a patient’s story, ensure someone can make it to treatment because a ride is available, someone who feels stronger through a wellness class, someone who receives financial relief during one of the hardest seasons of life, and someone who knows their community is standing beside them.

As you consider your own future plans, we invite you to think about the legacy you want to leave. Including ThriveWell in your estate plans is a meaningful way to continue providing hope, access, and compassionate care to cancer patients for years to come.
