Pardee Hospital Foundation invites the community to a special Planned Giving Seminar on Thursday, March 20, at 10 a.m. in the Health Sciences Building at 805 6th Ave. W, near the main campus of UNC Health Pardee. 

The event will feature Koral F. Alman, an estate planning attorney with Van Winkle Law Firm, and Mary Margaret Kiser, CFP®, from Beacon Pointe Advisors. 

The presentations will provide expert insights on how individuals can create a lasting legacy through planned giving. This free seminar is designed for anyone interested in strategic estate planning, charitable giving, and ensuring their philanthropic goals align with their financial plans. Attendees will learn to maximize their charitable impact while benefiting loved ones and supporting organizations like Pardee Hospital Foundation.

“Many people want to leave a meaningful legacy but are unsure of the best way to do so,” said Amy Treece, Executive Director for the Pardee Hospital Foundation. “This seminar will explore options for planned giving, tax-smart strategies, and ways to make a lasting difference for the causes people care about.”

The seminar will be held on the 2nd floor Wingate level of the Health Sciences Building, which offers excellent acoustics and multiple projection screens for an engaging presentation. Seating is limited to 50 attendees, so advance registration is required.
