A Mother’s Day Tribute
The five Forney children decided to honor their mother, Leslie, every Mother’s Day by contributing to Magee in lieu of gifts. The children, Andrea, Elizabeth, Meredith, Michael, and Sarah decided to support international outreach and education, as well as a plethora of women's health research. Below is their message regarding their generous contribution.
Our family's relationship with Magee is simple - four out of the five of us (yes, five) were born in this hospital. We are immensely proud of our mother and thankful for her patience and passion in raising all five of us. We didn't always make it easy! Her strength and resilience in raising us is a testament to that of mothers everywhere.
To the right: The Forney children learned the ways of philanthropy from their mother, who has been involved in giving back to the Pittsburgh community for years.
Our mom has a very giving nature, which she passed along to us through example. For as long as we can remember, she has been involved in giving back to the Pittsburgh community through volunteer efforts and charitable contributions. She also encouraged us to see ourselves as part of a global community and supported each of us in our international travels. We hope to express our appreciation and love for her every Mother's Day and pay tribute to her generous spirit through our donations to Magee-Womens Foundation. We sincerely support the two programs we are donating to - Magee Womancare International and Magee-Womens Research Institute. We hope to contribute to the efforts that support women and families worldwide, and to further research that will improve the lives of women right here in Pittsburgh and beyond. We are glad to be a part of the Magee family. Thank you!
Make a gift in honor or memory of a loved one.
