Did you know more than half of U.S. adults don't have a will? 📝

August is National Make a Will Month — a great reminder to take this important step for the people and causes you love.

Making a will lets you:
✅ Protect the people you love
✅ Create a legacy that reflects your values
✅ Find peace of mind for the future

You can create your will online or with an estate planning lawyer — and it's also a meaningful way to leave a lasting gift to a cause close to your heart, like LakewoodAlive.

Have questions about including LakewoodAlive in your will? Reach out to our Development Manager, Kathleen Upper, at [email protected] or 216-521-0655 x7.

We’re big fans of pizza, pasta, and businesses that show up for their neighbors. ❤️

Thanks for feeding Lakewood and helping us keep our community vibrant. We’ll happily raise a fork to that. 🍴
