Legacy Society – Estate/Legacy Gifts

The Legacy Society honors those who choose to make the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Foundation part of their estate plan. Their names are also displayed on the Legacy Wall in the Health Center's Main Lobby.

Membership in the Legacy Society is simple. All that is required is a written indication from you or your professional advisor that you have included the Foundation in a planned gift arrangement. There are 100 members in this exclusive society.

Inner Circle Recognition Event

Each year, donors who have given $1,000 or more during that year are honored at the Inner Circle Recognition Event. Those who have reached new levels of cumulative giving and new members to the Legacy Society receive special recognition at this event.

Memorial Garden

A gift to the Memorial Garden can help memorialize your friend or loved one. With a memorial gift of $1,000 an engraved granite stone with your loved one’s name will be placed in the Memorial Garden at the Health Center. The Memorial Garden is located near the Emergency Room.

Your gift will be used to assist SBL Hospice programs including Grant-A-Wish, bereavement counseling, and assistance to those without resources, or any SBL program of your choice.

The Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Foundation will send notice of your thoughtful gift to the family of the person you are memorializing. You will receive notification of your gift and a charitable receipt for tax purposes.

Windows to Heaven

Windows to Heaven, located in the Sarah Bush Lincoln Chapel, is a series of beautifully handcrafted windows from which an artist’s rendition of the brilliant night sky filled with stars can be seen. For $30, a star can be purchased which will contain the name of a child who has died. Children need not be born at Sarah Bush Lincoln to have a star hung in their honor.

Funds raised from the purchase of the stars will go toward memory boxes for parents who have lost children, bereavement services including literature and support and special gifts for siblings.

Tree of Life

The Tree of Life, located in the Regional Cancer Center, honors friends and loved ones who have battled cancer. For a gift of $1,000, a “leaf” may be purchased and can be engraved according to the donor’s wishes as a lasting tribute. Leaves can also be purchased to honor a favorite doctor or nurse or to memorialize someone who lost their cancer battle. 

Proceeds benefit those who struggle to pay for items associated with their care in the Cancer Center.
