Memorial and Tribute Gifts

Thoughtfully remembering family, friends, or events is another way to make a long term investment in our community. These memorial and tribute gifts will be a benefit to others in future generations. Two families, even at a time of tremendous sorrow in their lives, thought of others by simply stating: "..in lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to United Way."

"Bill loved Kansas City and wanted to do whatever he could to support those in the city that needed assistance. The United
Way provided him with the right avenue to do that. Bill's passing provided him one last chance to show his support and educate others to the wonderful job that the United Way does for
Kansas City." – The Wilkerson family

"Our family has long supported United Way through our annual contributions. When Brent died we wanted to do something in his
honor and we naturally thought of United Way. We decided on the Living Legacy fund to provide funding for the community now and in the future. We know that Brent would have liked what we were doing
for the citizens of the Kansas City area."
– Sandra Spencer, Sister of Brent John Walter
