Word Around Legacy Leaders

I am a long-time supporter of United Way. I’ve lived in several cities and have always contributed and volunteered where I’ve lived. United Way is vital to the health of our community. I know I won’t be around forever, but there is a way for me to continue to support the day-to-day work and solve problems that I cannot imagine today. That’s why I’ve included United Way in my estate plans.
Tracy Crump
President and CEO, Wesley Woods Foundation
There’s nothing more important than giving kids a decent start in life... I want my contribution to continue… I think that’s the best legacy I could possibly leave this town that has been so good to me.
