GOODMAN COMMUNITY CENTER
Make a will. It takes just a little planning, and once you’ve provided for your loved-ones, leaving a gift to an organization that reflects your values is a great way to leave a lasting legacy. It doesn’t affect your everyday income, yet it could enable you to make an impact you could only dream of during your lifetime. Bequests don’t have to be large to be meaningful. Goodman would be so grateful to be included in your plans. Your gift could enhance our financial stability and ensure our ability to serve our community for generations to come. Is Goodman in your will? If we are in your will or
other estate plans, please let us know, even if you want your gift to remain anonymous. We’d love to thank you! Contact Jenny Pressman, Development Director, at (608) 204-8059 or jenny@goodmancenter.org.
