The Silver Cross Foundation will host a free Estate Planning & Charitable Giving webinar on Thursday, Feb. 19, from noon to 1 p.m. Community members are invited to join the virtual session from the comfort of their home or office. The program will cover 2026 estate planning updates, bequests, living trusts, probate, tax‑saving strategies, life insurance, annuities, donor‑advised funds and additional planning tools.

The webinar will be presented by Silver Cross Foundation Board Members and industry experts: John Clavio, attorney and partner at Clavio, Van Ordstrand & Associates, LLP; Reid Filotto, partner at Filotto Professional Services; Kathy Miller, insurance agent with Kathy Miller State Farm Insurance; Tracy Simons, executive director of the Silver Cross Foundation; and Nick Tyrell, financial advisor and principal with Edward Jones.

Attendees will also learn how to include Silver Cross Hospital as a beneficiary in their will or trust—an opportunity to create a meaningful legacy without impacting lifetime finances. Following the presentation, participants will have the chance to engage in an interactive question-and-answer session with the panel. All registrants will receive a complimentary estate planning guide delivered via email after the event.
