YOUR LEGACY, THEIR FUTURE
Celebrating 75 Years of Care
and a Future Built by You
Join the 75 for 75 Legacy Challenge
For 75 years, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital has been a trusted leader in pediatric care, fueled by the generosity of those who believe every child deserves a healthier future. As we honor this extraordinary milestone, we invite you to be part of what’s next.
Introducing the 75 for 75 Legacy Challenge—a powerful way to support the future of children’s health through the impact of planned giving. Our goal: 75 new or increased legacy gift commitments to honor 75 years of care and compassion.
When you document a new or increased planned gift, Nicklaus Children’s will unlock a 10% match—up to $10,000—for immediate use. Both your legacy gift and the match may be directed to the area of care that means the most to you.
Whether you are ready to document a new legacy gift or have already included Nicklaus Children’s in your plans, this is your moment to ensure your gift brings hope and healing—now and for generations to come.
Create your legacy. Celebrate our future. Join the 75 for 75 Legacy Challenge.
