Celebrating the Willards: A Conversation About Generosity
Thursday, January 14
12noon—12:30pm
Facebook and YouTube

The Quad Cities Community Foundation will host a 30-minute lunchtime conversation on YouTube and Facebook to celebrate Carol and John Willard, and share how the couple went about creating their philanthropic legacy. Before they passed away, the Willards established a will and estate plan that resulted in a $3 million gift to support the Quad Cities community—and nonprofits meaningful to the two of them.

 Join us from the comfort of your home or office over the lunch hour on Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 12noon. Registration isn’t required—just use the links below to view.

In a live-streamed conversation on Facebook and YouTube, Sherry Ristau, president and CEO of the Quad Cities Community Foundation, will lead a discussion that includes Melissa Hancock, partner and Schnell and Hancock, P.C., who supported the Willards in their will and estate planning, and Amy Groskopf, director of the Davenport Public Library. The FRIENDS of the Davenport Public Library was one of the organizations who received philanthropic support from the Willards.
