Make a Legacy Gift to the Heritage Guild to Benefit Future Generations
The Heritage Guild was established by the VOS Education Foundation and the VOS board to provide a mechanism for legacy gifts from our estates after we have crossed that “rainbow bridge.” Your VOS Past Presidents have already begun this initiative by making early commitments, and we will have Heritage Guild information and commitment forms available at the meeting in Breckenridge.
What better legacy could there be to memorialize one of our life’s passions than to help future generations of orthopedists and benefit future patients with our generosity. Visit our Heritage Guild web page to learn more, and join us in this endeavor!
