“I’d never seen a ballet before and thought it would take me awhile to develop or cultivate an appreciation for it...But when I saw my first Ballet Fantastique show, I was blown away by the whole production...”
“My spouse and I have been deliberate about our giving over the years. We have tried a variety of methods to meet our giving desires, to maximize the amounts given, and to address the specific budget needs of the various organizations to which we contribute. As we get older, part of that giving strategy is estate planning. Like us, many people wish they could give more generously. While that may not be possible now, it is possible to allocate larger donations via a legacy gift.
We enjoy attending Ballet Fantastique performances and admire the creative dedication of the Bontragers and their cast and crew as well as BFan’s youth educational efforts. Legacy gifts ensure a bright future for culture and arts in Eugene. We hope you will join us in including Ballet Fantastique in your estate planning.”
