What Does It Mean to Leave a Legacy?

For longtime Family Focus Board member and donor Judy Block, leaving a legacy meant carrying forward one of the values she held most deeply: giving children the opportunity to thrive.

By including Family Focus in her estate plans, Judy created a gift that will continue strengthening children, families, and communities for generations to come. In a special video, Judy’s daughter and son-in-law reflect on the love, values, and commitment to children that inspired her legacy gift – and continue to shape her family’s connection to Family Focus today.

Watch Judy’s story and learn how you, too, can make Family Focus part of your legacy. 

Judy’s story is also a powerful reminder that each of us has the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy. A planned gift to Family Focus can extend the impact of your generosity far into the future, helping ensure that children and families have the support and opportunities they need to thrive for generations to come.

The Irving Harris Legacy Circle honors and recognizes those who have included Family Focus in their estate or long-term financial plans. Whether through a will, trust, beneficiary designation, or another planned gift, your generosity can create a lasting impact while carrying forward the values that matter most to you.
