On July 1st, LIFESPAN launched The President’s Circle, a donor-focused program at the agency to bring volunteers and donors in closer connection to the mission of LIFESPAN. The President’s Circle is designed to recognize and honor individuals who share a similar level of commitment and loyalty to the individuals we serve, while also providing increased information to those who care for them. Supporters who gave a $1,000 gift during 2013-2014 are recognized as charter members of the President’s Circle. With the President’s Circle membership you can look forward to:
