Planned Giving
Hereditary cancer passes through generations.
So can your protection.
A gift in your will or estate plan helps families find Lynch syndrome early, long after today.
Lynch syndrome is passed from parent to child. Every family that learns it carries Lynch can protect the next generation through early screening and prevention. A planned gift makes sure AliveandKick'n is there for those families.
Planned gifts often cost nothing today, and many can be changed later. Here are the most common ways to give.
01
Gift in your will or trust (bequest)
Name AliveandKick'n for a dollar amount, a percentage, or what remains of your estate
Give without affecting your finances today
03

02
Beneficiary designation

04
Gift of stock
Transfer appreciated shares directly to us
Avoid capital gains tax
