Description

August is National Make-A-Will Month, and in this special bonus episode of PWS United, we’re shining a light on the importance of planning ahead - both for our families and for the future of PWSA | USA. This milestone year marks PWSA’s 50th anniversary, offering a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the legacy we want to leave for the Prader-Willi syndrome community.


Host Carrie Ilijevich is joined by Melanie Zalman, PWSA’s Director of Development and mom to Josie, and Tim Hearn, a member of PWSA’s Board of Directors and dad to David. Together, they talk about the power of planned giving and why sustainability matters for an organization that families rely on for support, guidance, and advocacy.


For caregivers, planning ahead brings peace of mind, knowing that loved ones will have the support and security they need throughout their lives. A bequest through your will or trust is a deeply meaningful way to make a lasting impact, ensuring that PWSA can continue its vital programs and services today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.


As we look back on five decades of progress and ahead to a hopeful future, we invite you to learn more about legacy giving and consider joining the families who’ve already made this commitment to sustaining PWSA’s mission.
