SUPPORT LOCAL CANCER CENTER

Leave a Legacy

Creating a plan is an important step in your life journey. This is your opportunity to decide how you will benefit your family, friends and charitable organizations after your lifetime. Including a gift in your documents, often called a bequest, is a great way to support the future of local cancer care without giving away any of your assets today. A bequest is a gift that can be changed at any time, if your circumstances change.

​A bequest may be made through a will or through a living trust. Estate gifts to the Cancer Foundation have been transforming the quality of cancer care on the central coast since our founding in 1949. Cutting-edge technology, life-saving research, supporting the cost of treatment for patients in need—even the land beneath the new Cancer Center—all of these have been supported tremendously by legacy gifts to the Cancer Foundation. We invite you to discuss how you can leave a meaningful legacy for the people and organizations in your life. Contact Lori Willis, Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara, at (805) 898-2187 or lwillis@cfsb.org.
