Member Support
 “I wish I could do more” is a phrase that often accompanies
donations to PCRM. We are grateful for every gift—no matter
the amount. The truth is, most people are able to make a gift of
surprising significance. They just don’t realize that doing
so takes a little preparation.
Estate planning is a
tool that will help you carry out your personal goals for the future.
It can help you support charitable interests that are important
to you.
Creating a will is an easy, uncomplicated way to make a
planned gift. The first step is to contact your attorney or your
state bar association for assistance in finding a lawyer who specializes
in wills and estate planning. Bequests made through your will give
you flexibility and a variety of options. Bequests can be a percentage
of your estate, a specific dollar amount, or even a particular
item.
Having a will is a win-win situation for everyone. It ensures
that the assets you have built up in your lifetime will be used
in the way that you desire.
PCRM’s Lifetime Partners are
a special group of supporters who have included PCRM in their estate
plans. If you have done so, please let us know! Knowing helps us
make our own plans for the future, and naturally we would like
to express our gratitude to you now.
To notify PCRM of your gift
plans or to request information about bequests or the many other
available planned giving options, please complete and return the
form on this page. You can also visit www.pcrm.gift-planning.org to
learn more about Lifetime Partners and use our interactive gift
planning software to help you make the decision that’s right
for you.
We can help you attain your goals. Your support is what
keeps us growing and strong!
With deepest appreciation,
Betsy Wason
Associate Director of Development

PCRM Members Share Their Passion for Compassion
 PCRM members recently gathered at the stunning Hotel Casa Del
Mar in Santa Monica, Calif., to celebrate their commitment to promoting
compassion. Our Passion for Compassion luncheon and Passion Auction
was a unique fundraising event where guests could mingle with each
other and PCRM staff while raising funds for PCRM’s vital
programs. Actress and author Marilu Henner, best known for her
roles on Taxi and Evening Shade, was a special
guest.
Henner and PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D., hosted a live
auction that gave members the chance to support their favorite
PCRM program. Guests enthusiastically bid on eight different programs.
The winning bidders listed below will have their names associated
with the following programs for an entire year. We are deeply grateful
to them and to all who supported this event:
Campaign to End Animal Labs in Medical Schools: Zarin Azar,
M.D.
The Cancer Survivor’s Handbook Distribution: Jim
Weisenbach
Humane Charity Seal of Approval Advertisements: Edmund and Barbara
Wilkinson
Healthy School Lunch Campaign: Moneim Fadali, M.D.
Spanish Vegetarian Starter Kit: Moneim Fadali,
M.D.
Dissection Alternatives Campaign: Kim Howe
NutritionMD.org Web Site: Zarin Azar, M.D.
Nutrition Guide for Clinicians: Darla K. Brunner and
Steven R. Nussbaum
PCRM Member Events
In the past year, we
have held a number of events to help us get out and meet
our members. These occasions have provided PCRM staff with
a wonderful opportunity to get to know our supporters and
share with them the latest program news and campaign victories.
The feedback from members who have attended has been overwhelmingly
positive and we plan to host more events in locations throughout
the country. When you get an invitation to attend a PCRM
event in your region, we hope you’ll consider joining
us. If you would like to help us plan an event in your city,
please contact membership@pcrm.org or
202-686-2210, ext. 304. See you soon!
