Your Presenters:

Laurie Fox
Campaign Director
Will Power
Laurie Fox is the Director of Will Power, a public awareness campaign inspiring Canadians to think differently about their charitable giving, and leave a gift to charity in their Will.
Laurie has worked in the non-profit sector for over 2 decades, and has seen the need in our communities and across the country rise. But she has also seen first-hand how ordinary Canadians have made truly extraordinary contributions just by leaving 1% of their estate to a cause they care about. Laurie is on a mission to show all Canadians the power they have to do more in this world simply by giving in a different way.
The Will Power campaign runs a website, with free tools and resources, where you can explore for yourself the contribution you can make with a gift in your Will, while still supporting loved ones. Check it out at willpower.ca
