"I wish I could do more, but life gets in the way." Legacy Giving
 | |
Board Vice-Chair Lisa Allison,
2012 Celebration of Life Honoree,
and a member of the
CSCVVSB Legacy Society
|
While the economy and the future may seem uncertain, charitable planning can help you stay on track with your goals.
Lisa Allison became a steadfast champion of the Cancer Support Community Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara seventeen years ago when a close friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer and given months to live. Lisa saw a dramatic change in his outlook when he started attending a CSCVVSB support group. "I saw how much hope this organization gave my friend and his family, and I wanted to give back."
Lisa purchased a life insurance policy naming the Cancer Support Community Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara as the beneficiary. "I decided to leave a legacy gift because there is so much more I wish I could do now, but life gets in the way. I want to help CSCVVSB continue its important mission beyond my own lifetime," said Lisa.
