Meet Our Donors

We thank all our planned-gift donors for their generous support. Here are some of their stories.

Wayne Manning

"Our gift does as much good for the hospital as it does for me. Our support is a demonstration that it doesn't take millions from one person; it takes a little from a lot of us."

Wendy Wood-Kjelvik

"Giving is like having spare change. If you put it in your wallet, you spend it on useless stuff. That spare change is put to much better use by making a gift to Sutter, where it will be used for a great cause."

David and Stephanie Jones

"I owe my life to the wonderful physicians, nurses and other staff who cared for me during my treatment. Their professionalism was amazing."

Drs. Nancy and Richard Bohannon

Drs. Nancy and Richard Bohannon named CPMC as a beneficiary of their charitable remainder trust. "Through the years, my husband, our son and I have all known and appreciated the excellent personal medical care that we have received here."

Dr. Melvin Donaldson

"Years ago I had some property that had a significant appreciation. Working with the Foundation, we came up with a plan to use that property to make a gift to benefit the Medical Center while providing some income for us and our five adult children,"

Joe Connell, Ph.D.

"I didn't even know what a charitable gift annuity was before the Foundation talked with us about it. It was surprisingly easy to set up and provides a very nice monthly income and tax benefits."
