The Yeargan Foundation Announces $1,000,000 Gift and Matching Challenge - Transitions LifeCare

The Yeargan Foundation is making a $1 million gift to Transitions LifeCare. This generous gift will directly support medical care, emotional support, and bereavement services for families across our community.

The Foundation is also challenging the community to match this $1 million gift by December 31, 2025. “We will match a gift of any size that’s designated to Transitions Kids, or any unrestricted gift of $1,000 or more. But, even if your gift doesn’t meet the matching criteria, we urge you to send your most generous gift today,” said Polly Yeargan Hardie. Every single dollar counts to ensure that Transitions LifeCare can continue to provide compassionate care for anyone facing serious illness or the end of life—regardless of their ability to pay.”

Your gift today will not only help unlock the Yeargan Foundation’s challenge, but also honor the legacy of care that began in 1979. Together, we can build a future where every child, adult, and family will receive the support they need.

“Like many people, I first became aware of Transitions LifeCare after they provided compassionate care to a relative of mine at the end of life. Our family was so impressed by the services we received that we wanted to learn more about the organization,” said Polly Yeargan Hardie.

“In late 2014, I visited the William M. Dunlap Center for Caring, the agency’s inpatient hospice home, and talked with their leadership team. I wondered aloud if they had ever considered a specific program for children facing terminal illness. I was told they hoped to one day provide services to the pediatric population and already had many inquiries from local hospitals. I was very interested in fast-tracking the launch of this program and was pleased that we were able to make a foundational gift to formally launch Transitions Kids in September of 2015.”

Ten years later, Transitions Kids continues to fulfill its simple but powerful mission: to provide compassionate care to children and families facing serious illness. “Today, thanks to your generosity and belief in our work, the program has grown beyond what we ever imagined.” Please give online at www.transitionslifecare.org/donate or contact the Philanthropy Team at 919-828-0890 or philanthropydept@transitionslifecare.org.
