- Donor must also contact IRA administrator to initiate their gift to LCF by May 8 so the distribution is received before May 28. Allow a few weeks for processing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We could not do all the good we do—helping people with Parkinson’s, empowering ageless and unstoppable adults, and supporting adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities to move and be uplifted—without your generosity and support. It is truly thanks to you that we can make a difference.
Sincerely,
Ruth Davidson Hahn, President and Artistic Director
