ISLAND LEGACY SOCIETY

If you would like to leave a legacy for current and future families of Martha's Vineyard the Y invites you to consider making a planned gift and joining a group of individuals who care deeply for our Island. The ISLAND LEGACY SOCIETY was created to recognize our Y family supporters who make gift plans to benefit our Island community throughout and beyond their lifetimes. Legacy gifts made to the Y help ensure that affordable and free health and wellness, youth, and community programs will be available for future generations.
