How to Include Us in Your Will
Being generous in one's Will or Trust is a way to continue one's values beyond one's lifetime. For many individuals or couples, this helps them achieve their dream of making a "gift of a lifetime."

Bequests work particularly well for those who have the desire to support Glennon but might no have the cash or assets to do so now. It is very easy to include a bequest to Glennon directly in your Will/Trust or in a codicil to your Will/Trust.

Larger bequests can establish an endowment in which the principal can be sustained while the derived income is used for specific and significant purposes. Through an endowment you can memorialize a family member and/or yourself in perpetuity. If you are thinking of establishing such a gift, please contact us for appropriate verbiage.

Turn Your Good Intentions Into Action
To expedite your good intentions, here is a recommended clause for making an outright unrestricted bequest to Glennon:

Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, a Missouri not-for-profit Corporation, is to receive the sum of (indicate specific amount, percentage or "rest and residue" of the estate). This bequest is unrestricted, and the Board of Governors or other governing body may use and expend the same for the benefit of Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, in any manner it deems appropriate.

The preceding clause, of course, is only a suggested example. Always consult your attorney for specific legal advice.

Should you wish to make a bequest to Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center that is restricted to a specific purpose, such as an endowment, program or service area, please contact us for examples of appropriate wording.
