August is National Make-A-Will Month — a reminder that creating a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect the people and causes you care about.
While many people think of a will as simply a way to distribute assets, it can also be a powerful opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the organizations and missions that have touched your life.
At Schurig Center for Brain Injury Recovery, a gift included in your will can help ensure that individuals and families affected by brain injury continue to have access to the rehabilitation, support, and community they need for years to come.
Your Will Is More Than a Legal Document
A will reflects what matters most to you. It allows you to make important decisions about your loved ones, your values, and the legacy you want to leave behind. For many people, including a charitable gift in their will is a meaningful way to support a cause they believe in, without changing their current financial plans.
These future gifts, often called planned gifts, help nonprofit organizations, like Schurig Center, build a stronger foundation for the future and continue serving the community for generations to come.
Why Your Legacy Matters
Brain injury recovery is a lifelong journey. After someone experiences a traumatic brain injury, concussion, stroke, or other acquired brain injury, the need for support often continues long after traditional medical care ends. Survivors may need ongoing rehabilitation, opportunities to rebuild skills, and a community where they feel understood. Caregivers also need support as they navigate the challenges of supporting a loved one.
Since 1985, Schurig Center has been a place of hope and healing for people affected by brain injury. Through our therapeutic programs, support groups, and resources, we help survivors and caregivers continue moving forward.
A gift in your will can help ensure this vital support remains available for future generations.
You Don’t Need to Be Wealthy to Make a Difference
A future gift of any amount can help provide continued access to services that change lives.
Many people assume that planned gifts are only for those with significant financial resources. In reality, leaving a legacy is about generosity and intention, not the size of the gift. By including Schurig Center in your will, you can help support programs such as:
- Cognitive rehabilitation and therapeutic programs that help survivors continue their recovery
- Caregiver and survivor support groups that provide connection and understanding
- Art therapy and creative programs that promote confidence and self-expression
- Educational resources that help families better navigate life after brain injury
