"When you give to First Call, you’re not just saving lives—you’re saving families, you’re educating our children, you’re helping our veterans, our public health system, law enforcement, everyone. That’s what I want my legacy to be—that I left the world a better place, and I think making a planned gift to First Call is the perfect way to do that."
