The 18th Annual Limbs for Life Golf Tournament was scheduled for October 19th. After speaking with most of you and gathering your input, we have made the difficult decision to not hold the tournament this year. The impact of the current environment on you - our sponsors, partners and friends - is significant.
We utilized a survey model to capture specific data in making the decision. Although several would attempt to participate if we held the tournament, most would need to reduce the level of sponsorship. With the feedback provided, the committee determined it is not economically feasible to hold the Limbs for Life golf tournament this year.
We value our relationship with you and want to do what’s in the best interest of Limbs for Life and each one of you. We are so grateful for your support and participation through the years and we will return. In fact, we have reserved October 18, 2021 at Gaillardia for our next tournament date. Mark your calendar, plan for your participation, and join us then. We will look forward to it!
We are thinking of you, your families and employees during this time. We look forward to brighter days, on the golf course, and beyond. Please reach out if you have questions.
Many, many thanks for your understanding and support.

Gifts We Accept
At Limbs for Life Foundation, our mission is dedicated to providing fully functional prosthetic care for individuals who cannot otherwise afford it and raising awareness of challenges facing amputees.
Including Limbs for Life Foundation in your will is a wonderful way to make a lasting impact on our organization and the amputees we help. Bequests are the simplest way of making a Planned Gift. There are numerous ways of making a gift to the foundation and giving you tax advantages for several years in a row. These donations (often called Planned Gifts) can offer many tax advantages:
-
Reduce or avoid your capital gains tax
-
Provide you or a loved one income for life
-
Allow you to make a much larger gift than you thought possible
-
Reduce your estate taxes
-
Create an income tax deduction for you
When considering charitable gifts, a donor may wish to consider alternatives to simply writing a check or making a large cash gift. Major gifts can take many forms, each offering different tax and giving advantages. Often, by making gifts of appreciated assets like stock, a donor can make the same dollar commitment but forward more net dollars to Limbs for Life Foundation AND receive a larger tax deduction.
For many, planned giving is the best way to leave a lasting legacy to those organizations in which they believe, because during one’s lifetime, money is tied up in assets and is not available for charitable purposes. Good estate planning also offers income, capital gains and estate tax benefits. Making a Planned Gift as part of your estate planning is assuring your wishes are being carried out along with tax advantages today. Below are types of Planned Gifts we will accept:
Specific Planned Giving Vehicles
-
Bequest or Residual Estate Gift
-
Stocks, Bonds and Marketable Securities
-
Gift Annuities
-
Testamentary Trusts
-
Real Estate
-
Mineral Interests and Royalties
-
Life Insurance
