August is National Make-A-Will Month
August is National Make-A-Will Month, a perfect time to reflect upon your future and gain the peace of mind that comes with having a plan in place.
Many people want to create or update their will but aren’t sure where to start. To support you, we are partnering with FreeWill, a free, secure online tool that walks you through the process of making or updating your will or trust in about 20 minutes.
Through your will, you are able to make your values known, care for your family, and express your priorities in a changing world. SYRCL member and volunteer Rorie Lin Gotham has completed this journey with her financial advisors.
“There is much deep and personal meaning to me to have made plans to include the South Yuba River Citizens League as a beneficiary in my will. SYRCL means more to me than membership. It has been a wonderful part of this community for decades during which time I have also had the fun and pleasure of volunteering for the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, the River Monitoring program, and the Yuba River Cleanup. I wanted to continue my commitment to SYRCL beyond membership and leaving a legacy gift only made sense. I have the satisfaction now knowing this will help keep SYRCL in good financial standing in the future.” – Rorie Lin Gotham, SYRCL Legacy Circle Member.
If you’re like Rorie and passionate about making a difference for the environment and inspiring lifelong watershed stewards, protecting the Yuba through your will or trust is a powerful way to make a lasting impact. You can even use FreeWill to help you prepare for a visit with an estate planning professional.
Thank you so much for being by our side. We’re honored to work alongside supporters like you who care deeply for your families, your future, and your watershed.
If you already have a will or trust, please tell us about your existing gift and the impact you hope to make.
