Would you like to learn how to express your commitment to the goals of The Arc of Fort Bend County? You could do this through a planned gift. Once you have provided for loved ones in your will, you may want to include a gift of money, stock or property to The Arc. Your gift will be a lasting tribute to your concern for the advocacy, services and programs The Arc provides, while guaranteeing our long-term future.


Did you know that annually, individuals 70.5 and older can transfer up to $100,000 as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from their traditional IRA* to a qualified charity such as The Arc of Fort Bend County?

Dear Friends:


Happy New Year! We are very excited to begin 2022 with great news! Thanks to our wonderful volunteers, loyal sponsors, and supporters for making the 2021 Best in the West a tremendous success.


Due to the generosity of people like you, the 2021 Best in the West raised over $­­­292,600.00 with a net income exceeding $265,100.00.


What a difference you made for our special needs community through The Arc of Fort Bend County! Your efforts have ensured continuing support of The Arc’s many programs benefitting Fort Bend County’s individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We offer a sincere “thank you” to each one of you who supported us, attended, and participated, as you once again, gave from your heart.


We also offer a heartfelt “thank you” to the dedicated committee members who worked diligently to organize the event, the generous underwriters who covered the entire cost for hosting the event, and to our volunteers, who serve in every imaginable capacity, from planning to clean up.


Please mark your new 2022 calendars now for the Saturday before Thanksgiving, reserving November 19,2022, for the 2022 Best in the West! We hope you will follow The Arc throughout the year on Twitter, Facebook and on our website, www.arcoffortbend.org.


THANK YOU AGAIN,


James Patterson, Ann Smith & Jenny Gortney
