Make a Will Month is a nationwide effort in August each year to highlight the importance of having a legal document that outlines how a person’s assets should be distributed after their death.
If you own anything of value—whether it’s a car, bank account or sentimental items—you need a will.
This August during Make a Will Month, consider including Olmsted Parks Conservancy in your will. If you have already made provisions for the parks in your estate, let us know, because your foresight makes you part of our 1891 Society! The annual 1891 Society Dinner is a magical, exclusive event celebrated in our parks.
