Donor Testimonials

“The best use of life is to invest in something which will outlast life.”

~ William James

“After many years of being an annual donor to TBCF, as well as a member of the board, I decided that this was an organization that I would enjoy making a real difference in its long-term sustainability. After discussion with my family, we thought the best way to accomplish this was with a planned gift. In particular, I decided to use my 401(k) plan as the vehicle for two reasons. The first was that it was incredibly tax efficient. The second was that I could make the change with a simple change of beneficiary form sent to my HR department. No attorney or CPA was required! I believe that TBCF’s Financial Support and Emotional Support Programs are something I want to preserve as my legacy. My planned gift accomplishes this!”

Why Gold?

Although many colors were considered, gold was agreed upon as the ideal choice for childhood cancer awareness because gold is a precious metal, and is therefore the perfect color to reflect the most precious thing in our lives - our children.
