You don’t have to choose. Take care of your family while also supporting the fight against cancer. Uncertain economic times means more worry around providing for your family. This makes it even more challenging to remember the importance of giving to causes you care about – those causes that can support you in return. Charity begins at home, and with thoughtful gift planning, you can support both. Consider these options for helping Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Foundation while protecting your loved ones: ❤️ A gift in your will ❤️ Retirement plan assets ❤️ Life insurance ➡️Find out more about how you can make a lasting impact: https://lnkd.in/gPpXG4Pz #EstatePlanningWeek #CharitableGiving #FamilyFirst #CancerFoundation

Family ALWAYS comes first. And did you know that by giving certain assets to Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Foundation, you can preserve more of your estate for your loved ones? Many of our donors wish they could do more to help improve survivorship and lessen the burden of cancer care, and they also want to preserve their family's future. That’s understandable! The good news? Some assets are highly taxed when passed to loved ones but offer advantages when directed to charity. Learn which assets benefit your family most and how charitable giving can help protect your hard-earned wealth. ➡️ Get more from your assets to protect your wealth and your family: https://lnkd.in/gsg4VX2n #EstatePlanningWeek #CharitableGiving #FamilyFirst #CancerCare

This October, we #GeauxPink for Cynthia! 🎗️🌸 In March 2022, Cynthia underwent a mastectomy after being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. She received treatment from Dr. Lauren Zatarain at the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center located in the cancer pavilion at Woman’s Hospital, and has now been cancer-free for over a year! “In order to stand a chance to win the fight, you have to show up for the fight,” Cynthia says. 🥊 This October, join us and Geaux Pink to support more local patients like Cynthia.
