Legacy Fellowship

Legacy-minded leaders ensure a better future by creating something that outlasts them. This enables a long-lasting impact on others. A legacy is a valuable gift to give, which is only possible when leaders are aware of the powerful legacies they have to offer. 

Our Legacy Fellowship was established in 2025. This created a giving opportunity for our community. It ensures the patients and families served by CHHS will have critical end-of-life care. Additionally, it provides other health support services when needed most. 

You may join this Fellowship by making a Living Legacy Gift of $25,000 or more. Your gift can support our work now, either as a pledge paid over three to five years or as a one-time gift. You may then be invited to the Fellowship if you make a declaration of intent to provide a bequest of $25,000 or greater. This should be evidenced by your will, trust, or other declarative instrument. 

Participants at the Walk & Roll event are gathered around a pediatric patient who will benefit from the proceeds raised from Walk & Roll. Legacy gifts also help towards the cause.

Why Give?

Our Legacy Fellowship members know that CHHS never loses sight of the fact that we serve the critical needs of our patients and their families. They have the confidence that CHHS is a place of caring, in the fullest sense of the word.
