John’s Legacy Lives On… and So Can Yours!
Leave a Legacy That Saves Children’s Lives
Your legacy can be the catalyst that ends pediatric cancer and supports children and families through every step of their journey. By including Kids Beating Cancer in your estate plans, you ensure that your impact will live on—funding the research, treatments, and support programs that give children their best chance at life.
Your gift can be personal and purposeful—you choose the specific area your legacy supports, whether it’s advancing cutting-edge research, expanding life-saving treatments, or providing comfort and care to children in need.
Your legacy will bring hope, healing, and a future to children who need it most.
Leave a Legacy That Gives Children the Chance to Live.
Ensure that no child dies before experiencing the joy of life.
We all hope to leave a legacy that matters—something that says our lives had meaning, that we made a difference, and that we helped create a better future for the next generation. As parents, we dream of our children growing up healthy, laughing freely, and experiencing all the beauty life has to offer.
But when a child is diagnosed with cancer, everything changes.
No parent ever expects such a devastating diagnosis. None are prepared for the long, painful journey that cancer demands. Yet cancer knows no boundaries—it strikes without warning, without reason.
Your legacy gift can become the bridge between despair and hope. It may be the one vital link that gives a child access to treatment, a fighting chance, and the opportunity to fulfill a life they’ve only just begun. Through your generosity, you can impact a child’s destiny and help ensure they live to see adulthood.
A legacy of hope. A legacy of life. That’s the power you hold.
Your Legacy can address the staggering low focus nationally in pediatric cancer research, only 4% of all cancer research is for pediatric cancers. Your Legacy can name a specific Research Grant to bring the latest treatments and Clinical Trials available worldwide to the bedside for the children of Central Florida and beyond.
