Lourdes Legacy: Annual Business Meeting Breakfast

Wednesday Jan. 25th, 2012
Lourdes Foundation thanks our many supporters. We take this opportunity to highlight our accomplishments of the past year and recognize those who helped us along the way. This fundraiser will help purchase needed equipment for Lourdes Surgical Services and Rehabilitation Department. Contributions from this event will help fund a lift system for rehabilitation patients to speed their recovery and improve patient and employee safety. Your gifts will also finance new wireless equipment to more accurately assess the severity of cancerous tumors in the breast – some of which may be detected through our Free Mammogram Program.

Donor Wall
Lourdes Legacy Society was designed to highlight and honor those who have remained and those who will become major donors — people who realize the importance of providing not only care, but exceptional health care. The members of Lourdes Legacy Society invite you to continue the tradition of exceedingly high quality health care that is available to our community, our family and our friends. All donor levels are based on cumulative giving totals.

Wills Clinics
Did you know… Washington State has a will for you if you don’t have one? Our wills clinics offer answers to these questions and more:
- Who do I need to talk with about my will?
- What should I bring to the appointment?
- What decisions do I make before the appointment?
- When should I update my will?
- How do I know if my will is complete?

Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning. We have an increasing number of donors who now are benefiting from life income gifts, gift annuities and other plans. There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings.
