August Is Make-A-Will Month

August is Make-A-Will Month and if you are one of the nearly 70 percent of adults who do not yet have a will, now is a great time to make plans to protect the people and values you care about. This month, The Foundation of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation reminds us that creating a will isn’t just for the wealthy; it’s for everyone. A will guarantees that your wishes are honored and your legacy lives on. It is also an opportunity to include a meaningful gift to the causes and organizations that reflect your ideals, including Federation. Thousands of people across Jewish Miami — and beyond — have already made plans to include a legacy gift like this in their wills, strengthening the Jewish future and ensuring that our community thrives for generations. Click here to learn how easy it can be to include Federation in your will. For more information, contact Scott Kaplan, The Foundation Director, at [email protected] or 786.866.8623.
