What does it mean to leave a legacy?

For longtime Family Focus Board member and donor Judy Block, it meant carrying forward something she cared deeply about: giving children the opportunity to thrive.

By including Family Focus in her estate plans, Judy created a legacy that will continue to strengthen children and families for generations to come.
In this special video, Judy’s daughter and son-in-law share the values that inspired her gift - and why her commitment to children remains part of her legacy today.

▶️ Watch Judy’s story and learn how you, too, can make Family Focus part of your legacy.

As we recognize Make-A-Will Month, we hope Judy’s story inspires others to think about the values they want to carry forward.
Your values. Your legacy. Their future.
