A Planned Giving Newsletter from Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation

AUG 2022

In this issue of our Planned Giving newsletter, we share with you five factors that make giving feel good and offer strategies to make the most of your retirement plan assets and ensure your support for our wild things and wild places lives on for generations to come.

And, I hope you enjoy learning about how Lynise Marshall is forever protecting the parks she and her late husband Steve loved by making a gift to TPWF in honor of his memory and to support the opening of Palo Pinto Mountains State Park. According to Lynise, “Making a gift to protect Texas parks will affect so many people’s lives now and in the future. We need our parks and they will help the future of our planet."

Thank you for your continued support,
