August is Make a Will Month

August is Make a Will Month, a perfect time to reflect on the values you hold dear & the impact you want to leave behind. At Ticket to Dream, we believe every child deserves a safe, supported & joy-filled childhood. Including a gift in your will is one of the most meaningful ways to help foster youth thrive for generations to come.

Each year, millions of children enter foster care, many with only the clothes on their backs. Ticket to Dream steps in to provide essentials like school supplies, hygiene items, clothing & access to experiences that help build confidence, stability & joy. When you leave a gift in your will, you ensure these children continue to receive critical support & opportunity long into the future.

Why Consider a Legacy Gift?

• It costs nothing today but makes a lasting impact

• You can take care of your loved ones & support causes close to your heart

• Even a small percentage of your estate can provide backpacks & school supplies, summer camp experiences, or even a first pair of new shoes for foster child in need

How to Get Started

Making a planned gift is easier than you might think. Whether you’re writing your first will or updating an existing one, you can include a bequest to Ticket to Dream with just a few simple sentences. You can also name us as a beneficiary of your life insurance, retirement account, or Donor Advised Fund.
