MEMORIALS
There are times in life when you may want to honor the memory of a deceased friend or family member or pay tribute to someone on the occasion of any anniversary, graduation, birthday or birth of a child.
Or, you may want to honor someone for an outstanding achievement. Holidays are also times of gift giving.
A charitable gift--a living gift--is a special way to remember those we care about or love and benefit education at the same time.
A gift to the Foundation in someone's name expresses appreciation, sympathy, love, best wishes, congratulations or thanks.
The Foundation acknowledges gifts with a letter to the honoree.
BEQUESTS
A bequest to the Lake Park High School Educational Foundation as part of a will, allows a person to provide support to Lake Park after death.
It also can perpetuate the memory of a family member or friend, continues a person's lifetime concerns for young people, and may have a tax advantage since the Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) tax exempt corporation.
For anyone wishing to make a bequest, the Foundation recommends he or she consult a lawyer.
