The Memorial Medical Center Foundation established the Memorial Seaside Legacy Circle in 1992 to recognize and thank philanthropic friends who express their love of humankind by funding life-income gifts or give bequests through wills or trusts.
When you make a gift from your estate to the Memorial Medical Center Foundation for the benefit of Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children's & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, you’ll be welcomed into the Memorial Seaside Legacy Circle and join other supporters and friends of our important mission.
Please let us know so we can properly thank you and make sure your gift will be used as you've intended.
Not only do you have options for how your gift to MemorialCare Long Beach will be used, you also have options on what to give and Ways to Give. There are gifts that cost you nothing now, gifts that pay you income, and gifts that allow you to decide what happens when.

If you're 70 ½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to MemorialCare Long Beach. While there is no charitable deduction for a rollover gift, you do avoid the income tax on the donated portion of your required minimum distribution.
