Alumni Encouraged to Participate
in BGCB's Future
You know more than anyone
that BGCB has made it a priority to ensure our
Club members develop the skills to become
productive citizens and leaders. Members of the
Frederic C. Church Sr. Planned
Giving Society have been at the
core of this agency priority by making
provisions in their estate plans that will
provide financial stability for the agency or a
specific Club well into the future and ensure
that our services to the young people across
Boston and Chelsea are never compromised.
BGCB has professional resources available
to assist interested parties in finding a
planned gift to fit their personal situation -
regardless of age or income level. Planned gifts
benefit BGCB and often include attractive income
and tax advantages for the donor.
Please contact Renee Besser at 617.994.4782
or rbesser@bgcb.org if
you would like more information. If you have
already named BGCB as a beneficiary in your will
or estate plans, we hope you will let us know so
that we can properly thank you, and recognize
your intention.
