Celebrate National Make-a-Will Month by Creating a Legacy
- By Teri Yoder, Vice President of Development and Fundraising
A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever make, and if you’re one of the 68% of Americans without a will, now is the perfect time to create one. August is National Make-a-Will Month, an annual reminder about the importance of planning for your loved ones’ future and creating a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime. At the Lupus Foundation of America, we envision a life free of lupus, where those affected can live life to the fullest for generations to come.
Why a Will Matters
A will is your voice in securing the future you envision. It will bring you peace of mind knowing your affairs are in order, your loved ones are cared for, and your values are carried forward. Including a legacy gift to the Lupus Foundation of America in your will, which can be made in honor of a family member or friend, allows you to make a lasting impact in the fight against lupus.
Join the Lupus Legacy Society
The Lupus Legacy Society honors people who have included the Lupus Foundation of America in their wills or have made special gifts to support the Foundation's work. Members of the Lupus Legacy Society are vital to our mission. Their foresight and generosity enable us to continue to invest in cutting-edge research, enhance educational programs, and strengthen advocacy efforts.
Your Legacy, A Future Free of Lupus
We invite you to explore the estate planning resources on our website and ensure your commitment to a future free of lupus endures by including the Lupus Foundation of America in your will. Together, we can accelerate the discovery of new treatments and work tirelessly toward a cure.
Thank you for your dedication to our mission. With your support, we can continue to make strides in transforming the lives of those affected by lupus.
