The Legacy Program at the Abramson Cancer Center

Do you ever consider questions like: "What is my legacy?" or "What do I want others to remember about me?" This may include your life story, memories, dreams, or the values you live by. We invite you to learn about legacy work, a way to honor and celebrate the unique person you are! We will discuss some of the many ways to create a legacy project & help you get started. Dress comfortably and join us for coffee in a relaxed setting.
