Legacy Circle
Comprised of those whose estate plans include United Regional Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network. The Legacy Circle honors those whose generosity and foresight will make an enduring and positive difference in the lives of others. Gifts for the future help support excellence in health care for all the communities served by United Regional. Your help is needed as we plan the many facility improvements, new programs, and equipment purchases necessary to touch and improve lives in north Texas. Legacy Circle membership is available for those who notify United Regional Foundation that they have included the Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network at United Regional in their estate plans.
A planned gift is one legally provided for during the donor’s lifetime, but whose principal benefits do not accrue to the charity until some time in the future, such as the death of the donor and/or the income beneficiary or at some specific date. For more information contact the Foundation or call 940-764-8205.
