(Extra)Ordinary People Make a Lasting Impact at CEDARS

Being extraordinary is not just reserved for the rich, the powerful, the famous or the privileged. Extraordinary people like Chris and Michelle Wagner live perfectly ordinary lives.

A Focus on Things That Matter

Chris and Michelle have built their lives on a strong foundation of faith. Both focus their time on the people and causes that matter most to them. Their children and grandchildren fill their hearts and their free time. Chris has volunteered his time as a board member at CEDARS for over 20 years. Michelle shares her time with Catholic Social Services, the Newman Center and St. Peters Catholic Church.

Gratitude and Giving

Chris says, "Every time I visit CEDARS I am struck by the challenges that children face every day and it breaks my heart. Michelle and I want to be part of the solution."

Years ago, when Chris and Michelle were busy raising their own family and working hard to make ends meet, they were asked to consider joining CEDARS Circle of Life Legacy Society. "At that time we didn't have a lot of 'extra' but we felt strongly that we wanted to be a part of the CEDARS commitment to helping children for many generations to come. So, we made CEDARS the beneficiary of a life insurance policy."

Knowing that this gift will someday continue their support of the children at CEDARS gives both Chris and Michelle great satisfaction.

People like Chris and Michelle live genuinely. They inspire all of us to live the same way by building our lives on faith and kindness, the spirit of generosity and service to others.
