Leave Your Legacy through AG Bell
Everyone wants to be remembered. As a supporter of AG Bell, you will be recognized for the many lives you change, the futures you make possible, and the voices that sing, read bedtime stories, speak up and teach others how to overcome challenges.
Have you thought about making a gift to AG Bell in your will or trust?
When you choose to make a gift in your will, you are supporting causes that have been important in your life.
Kids need our help from cradle to career. Even with technology and therapy, children who are deaf and hard of hearing have difficulty in hearing and understanding lessons in school. As they grow, they face social challenges that can lead feeling isolated just as they are starting middle school and becoming teenagers. As they approach adulthood, teens need guidance and support in learning to speak up for themselves to get the accommodations they need, and they need connections to role models and friends who understand how they feel. AG Bell provides programs and support for children throughout their growing years.
You can create a lasting legacy that will help children with hearing loss live a life without limits.
By choosing to make a gift to AG Bell in your will or trust, you ensure your impact with a powerful and enduring planned gift.
