Presidents' Legacy Fund

Last year, three influential League members - all past Presidents - were laid to rest. Their contributions to Abilene were and continue to be widely felt, though perhaps none more deeply than within and throughout the League. Sustainers that I have spoken with have recounted stories of how each of them, in their own way, shaped the work of the League. The passion they had for each other, for service, and for families in the Big Country cannot be overstated. That is why we are hoping you will choose to honor the legacy of these women and the many others who came before them, by contributing to the inaugural JLA Legacy Fund at Christmas Carousel. This campaign will honor the contributions of past presidents who have passed away by providing funding for the mission of the League in the community and for our Active JLA members. The significance of hosting this fund in conjunction with Christmas Carousel is intentional - the three women we honor this year all served after 1981, the year our annual fundraiser was established. We are asking for a gift of $500 to establish this fund and mark 2023 as a year of both reflection on how far we have come and action towards an even more impactful tomorrow. As an inaugural sponsor of this fund, you will be recognized with a listing on this year's Carousel Horse and will receive all the Carousel sponsor benefits at the Mistletoe level. We hope to receive you commitment prior to September 1st, so we may include your or your business's name on this year's Carousel Invitation!
