Holiday Giving
Why End Of Year Giving Is Cost-Effective
Even in this time of economic uncertainty, ongoing support
for cancer research programs remains vital. Your gift will help keep
researchers working to find better detection methods and treatments - giving
patients help and hope - in their struggles against cancer.
Congress has recently extended the IRA Charitable
Rollover
Act,  providing a great tax-free option to
make a gift from your IRA without incurring an "out of pocket" expense, which many find beneficial in
today's economy.
Individuals 70 ½ or older are now permitted to contribute up
to $100,000 from their IRA accounts without incurring income tax on the
withdrawal. IRA distributions will not be included in your Federal taxable
income, and a gift to John Wayne Cancer
Institute will qualify for all or part
of your required
IRA annual minimum distribution. Read more...

of the Future. The Guardians of the Future recognizes the
