Voices of Giving is an annual event that allows GCPGC members to recognize philanthropists who have made a bequest or other planned gift. It specifically celebrates the generous spirit of these philanthropic individuals whose gestures help to ensure the long-term welfare of the many local non profits which make our community so special.
Through the recognition of donors, Voices of Giving also assists in the promotion of gift planning in the general public through the news media. Professional advisors are also recognized for their efforts in educating their clients about the benefits of leaving bequests to charity.
Thank you to the 2026 Voices of Giving Committee for their commitment to excellence: Sarah Byrd (co-chair), Lily O’Bryan (co-chair), Daniel Flynn (co -chair), Elizabeth Berk, Denise Carl, Lauren Copeland, Lisa Hacker, Michelle Mancini Bachman, Lisa Roberts-Rosser, and Carol Serrone.
