What's Your Story?

The Marketing Committee has created a simple form so that our non-profit partners and professional advisors alike can capture stories of legacy giving. The hope is to swap out stock photos/ads from LAL marketing materials and replace them with real stories of York County donors making a difference through legacy giving. Please use this link to submit a story."

The Program Committee is meeting in July to plan for Fall events. Look for information coming soon!
