Giving Back · A Yearly Day of Giving

A Day Each Year When the Family Gives Together

The family chooses one day each year to volunteer or support a cause that reflected your values.

Why this legacy matters

Giving together keeps values alive through action, and teaches children that a family can be a force for good in its community.

How your family can continue it

  1. Choose a cause that matched what you cared about.
  2. Decide together how to give: time, skills or donations.
  3. Finish the day with a shared meal and conversation.

Ways to make it your own

  • ✦Name a specific organization you trust.
  • ✦Let a different family member choose the cause every few years.
  • ✦Explain in a letter why this cause mattered to you.

A short example message

Example, written for inspiration

We were given so much. One day a year, give some of it back together. Then go and eat something good.

Make this idea part of your legacy.
