The Charles Gibson Legacy Society honors those forward-thinking donors who have made an extraordinary commitment to Cortland Regional Medical Center through a gift to the CM Foundation in their estate plans. Members of the Charles Gibson Legacy Society are recognized on the Donor Recognition Wall on the first floor by the Cafeteria. New Gibson Society members are also inducted and honored annually at the Gibson Society luncheon.

We hope you will let us know when you have named Cortland Memorial Foundation in your will or other planned gift. We would very much like the opportunity to thank and recognize you for your generosity.

To include Cortland Memorial Foundation in your estate plan through a will or trust, we recommend that you work with an attorney. There is no need to make a new will or trust. It is as simple as adding an amendment to your existing document. The following statement is helpful in directing a future gift:

I hereby give to Cortland Memorial Foundation, Federal tax I.D. #22-2230692, located at 134 Homer Avenue, Cortland, NY 1305, the sum of $____, or ____% of the residual sum of my estate, or property herein described, to be used as the Board of Directors deems advisable for the benefit of Cortland Regional Medical Center.

Of course, we will honor the wishes of those who prefer to remain anonymous. We ask that you please consider letting us recognize your wonderful gift with other Gibson Society members as this my encourage others to do the same.
