The 1967 Circle
THE 1967 CIRCLE is an honorary donor society initiated to acknowledge, honor, and recognize individuals who have included Valley Hope Foundation in their estate plans.
Utilizing a bequest in a simple will, a trust document, insurance or other estate vehicle, these individuals have planned to leave a gift at their death for the benefit of Valley Hope patients. Doing so, these donors create a legacy of generosity and assistance to future generations who must fight to overcome their addictions.
THE 1967 CIRCLE is dedicated to developing planned gifts and honoring these donors in perpetuity, as those who keep the Valley Hope circle of treatment and recovery unbroken. Valley Hope has provided an unending circle of recovery for half a century. THE 1967 CIRCLE exists to ensure this legacy of service never ends.
