Legacy Funds
CurePSP’s Legacy Funds provide families with the opportunity to recognize a loved one in perpetuity through an appeal targeted to friends, extended family, business associates, and others. Each Legacy Fund will have a focus that is determined by the family such as research, patient and family care, education and awareness or unrestricted foundation support. Initiatives that are fully funded by a Legacy Fund may also be named to recognize the family. CurePSP thanks our generous donors who have elected to honor their loved ones through ongoing support for our mission.
