Legacy Endowment Campaign Has Strong First Year
|
|
It's been one year
since the announcement of the Legacy Endowment Campaign, and as one of our biggest supporters, you'll be pleased to hear about the progress we've made!
LifeCare Alliance is proud to announce that we have secured more than $1.5 million in endowment gifts since the campaign launch at Big Wheels 2018. With the matching funds provided by our anonymous donor, the impact of this total is doubled.
There is still plenty of opportunity to grow our endowment and take advantage of $5 million in matching funds! About $3.5 million remains in match-eligible funds, so now is the perfect time to consider leaving your legacy for generations to come.

LifeCare Alliance's goal is to increase our endowment to a total of $20 million by 2025, which will generate an estimated $1 million in interest each year. That could provide up to 9,300 more mammograms or 400,000 home-delivered meals each year!

Do you know a child living with diabetes? Each summer, for over 50 years,
CODA
offers diabetes camps to children of all ages to learn to live a healthy life with their diagnosis.
In this unique summer camp experience, campers learn to take control of their diabetes management while participating in exciting traditional summer camp activities. They learn about nutrition, insulin therapy, and blood glucose monitoring, led by staff counselors, social workers, nurses, dietitians, and physicians.
CODA’s summer youth camps allow children and families to connect with a community of support, part of a lifelong path to living well while navigating the challenges of diabetes.
