Thank You - OneLegacy Foundation
INSPIRING. Legacy Link HEALING. V O L U M E ONELEGACY FOUNDATION HONORING. 1 , I S S U E 1 N O V E M B E R 2 0 1 2 Thank You IN THIS Dear OneLegacy Colleagues, ISSUE I want to thank everyone involved with OneLegacy for making me feel so welcome. The knowledge and support you have shared with me is so valuable as we work together to save and heal lives. LA Marathon OneLegacy Team Now Forming LOVE SHOP GIVE - Start your holiday shopping early and help OneLegacy Foundation Legacy Event at Britt’s BBQ As we build out the Foundation’s Strategic Plan, it will enable us to expand on the opportunities we have to impact donation of organs and tissues, increase living donation, help families heal by honoring their loved ones, and achieve better outcomes through research and education. Working together, we can create meaningful opportunities for the families we serve. A special thank you to Donation Development Coordinator, Lisa Holzman who is responsible for the OneLegacy Foundation’s very first contribution from a donor family whose son passed away in August. She called me asking for sample wording for the donor’s obituary because the family had asked that donations be made in their son’s name to OneLegacy. To date, those gifts have raised over $2,500. A special thank you also goes out to Roxane Ganske, a Coordinator at OneLegacy’s Family Care Center. She received a call from someone wanting to contribute to the Foundation and put them in touch with me to make their gift. Lastly, a big thank you to Bryan Stewart, Vice President of Communications, who referred a 2013 Rose Parade floragraph family to me and they made the largest gift to the Foundation to date. These gifts represent the future of what the Foundation will become and they all make an important difference. Again, thank you for the warm welcome, the tremendous support and the fun that we have already had as we begin this journey. All the best, Anne Grey Executive Director PAGE 2 Britt’s BBQ Legacy Event Raises Over $2,000 On October 27th, Britt’s BBQ located at 408 Main Street in El Segundo celebrated what would have been the 24th birthday of Brittany Nicole Cail who became a donor in April 2008 in Louisiana.
