Planned giving helps fuel Team Gleason Foundation’s mission
A gift in your will creates a foundation for the future. Our work today is important, but it is equally, if not more important, to ensure Team Gleason Foundation can continue well into the future.
The gift of the Jazzy Carbon Power chair gifted to me by Team Gleason has enabled me the freedom to continue to connect with nature and has allowed me to interact with my family on an independent level. I am so grateful for the independence this gift has given me. Thank you, Team Gleason for the support and personal attention you give to each of us afflicted with ALS, our families, and our care givers.
