Our NCDKG Educational Foundation ‘Legacy Committee’ is continuing the "sustained giving" initiative which began last January.
Give With Your Heart, Legacy 365, had a successful first year! The Legacy Committee reported a total of $11,072 was donated through this initiative in 2025. These donations will help build a secure base of assets for long-term financial support, assuring a dynamic and vital foundation far into our future. The Legacy Committee is seeking women who are willing to commit to giving $1.00 a day for 1 year. This may be renewable at the end of the year. We invite your participation. Fill out the form to either donate online or mail in your donation. Please ask questions or be free to show your interest: Contact Dr. Barbara Perry-Sheldon at [email protected] |
