Gifts That Keep On Giving

The only true legacy a person has to give is an expression of caring for others. The remembrance of us ultimately lies in the lives of people who receive the benefits of our generosity. Among family members, there is often a special shared pride in giving. The walls of Bridgeport Hospital bear proud and thankful witness to the caring people, who offer others the gift of health. What follows are the words of a community leader who used one a type of planned giving as a way of supporting the hospital.

Giving is a part of who I am...

I moved to this community over 30 years ago and became CEO of a company here in Bridgeport. Along the way, I became involved with Bridgeport Hospital and served on its Board of Directors, because I believe that it is important to help support such an vital community resource.

I've been in this hospital for care, so I can sincerely say that Bridgeport Hospital represents the ultimate in healthcare and community caring. Giving is part of who I am, so I have devoted time and energy to helping this institution grow and thrive in a challenging era. Along the way, I made financial contributions to the Hospital's mission too. From an investment point of view, it's an outstanding choice, because whatever commitment you make is ultimately going to benefit you and your family as well as the community around you.

When it came time to review my financial plans for the future, I chose a charitable remainder trust to benefit Bridgeport Hospital. It's been a wonderful way to give substantially to the Hospital and at the same time provide myself and my family with ongoing income. And its a great feeling to know that I can do both.

--Bob Dixon, former CEO, Harvey Hubbell Industries
