  • Supporting Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Foundation is more than just a commitment for Jeanne James - it’s continuing a family legacy of impact. Inspired by her father, Louis Curet, the Foundation’s first Board Chair and a dedicated advocate for cancer care, Jeanne carries on his mission of service. Along with her husband, David, Jeanne is ensuring future generations have access to lifesaving cancer care by naming Mary Bird Perkins as a beneficiary in their estate plan. As Lipsey Legacy Society members, their gift will make a lasting impact on patients and families for years to come. “It is my greatest hope that by sharing our family’s commitment to Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Foundation, it helps inspire others to see how easy it is to become a Lipsey Legacy Society member and to support an organization that has meant so much to our family and to countless other families across our community.” - Jeanne James Planned giving is a powerful way to make a difference.

    You don’t have to choose. Take care of your family while also supporting the fight against cancer. Uncertain economic times means more worry around providing for your family. This makes it even more challenging to remember the importance of giving to causes you care about – those causes that can support you in return. Charity begins at home, and with thoughtful gift planning, you can support both.
