A planned estate gift to Cheerful Givers is a great way to carry forward the mission of providing birthday recognition for less fortunate children and leave a lasting personal legacy.
A deferred gift can be given in the form of a Last Will and Testament bequest, a living trust or gift annuity, all of which would be used to support the mission of Cheerful Givers.
If you wish to provide a legacy gift, the official legal bequest language you can give to your financial planner is: “I, (name), of (city, state, ZIP), give, devise and bequeath to Cheerful Givers, 1287 Berry Ridge, Eagan, MN 55123, (write in the amount or percentage of the estate or description of property) for its unrestricted use and purpose.”
Please let us know if you decide to include Cheerful Givers in your will, as we would like the opportunity to thank you for your generosity. For more information on planned giving options, please contact karen@cheerfulgivers.org.

Each month there are thousands of kids whose birthdays pass without any recognition. Our hope is that we can change that through people like you who are willing to make a commitment to provide a birthday gift bag for one, five or ten children each month. Recurring donations occur automatically each month via PayPal. You decide when they stop. Each $10 donated provides a toy-filled birthday gift bag for one child on their special day.
Your commitment will ensure that economically disadvantaged families get to celebrate their children’s lives. Commit now!

See a Minnesota Twins game in their new stadium and support Cheerful Givers!
Minnesota Twins vs. Atlanta
June 12, 6:10 pm
Celebrate the 50th Season of baseball for the Twins in their New ballpark and a portion of ticket sales will be used to provide toy-filled birthday bags for children living in poverty
The Twins tell us they are expecting to sell out most, if not all, of the 2010 games in their new stadium. So we are pleased to have reserved 100 tickets to the Cheerful Givers game on Saturday, June 12 when the Twins take on Atlanta at 6:10 pm.
Tickets can be purchased for $26 and we will receive $5 (regular price is $27). They are “home plate view seats” in section 315. To purchase tickets please fill out this form (PDF). Encourage your contacts to order tickets soon!
Or you can save yourself the hassle of traffic and parking by riding a chartered bus leaving from the Chart House in Lakeville at 4:30 pm. $50 per person gets you both a Twins and round-trip bus ticket. Contact josh@charthouserestaurant.com to reserve your tickets today.
