“Being a GrandBEARent means continuing the legacy of generosity I was raised with and inspiring my children and grandchildren to embrace philanthropy with kindness and compassion. It’s about joining a community dedicated to children’s healing and well-being by helping ensure they receive the care that they deserve today and for many generations to come.”
