Giving Back = Good Health

It’s never a bad time to pay attention to your health. Although when you reach retirement, you may not be willing to take up the hottest new fad diet or exercise routine, there is an easier way to boost your health: Make a donation to Gonzaga University.

Research suggests that having a positive sense of purpose and an expression of goals can affect your well-being—even helping to fight disease. Can you think of a simpler way to improve your health than making a contribution to the organizations that are close to your heart?

Exploring the Connection
One popular example features John D. Rockefeller. At age 54, this intense, success-driven billionaire suffered from a plethora of physical ailments and was given one year to live. Then Rockefeller made an about-face, redirecting his life’s mission from making money toward caring for others through philanthropy. His health rallied and he lived to be 98.

Will You Exercise Your Heart?
While research continues to explore the link between a sense of purpose and physical health, the idea holds promise. If you are interested in exercising your heart by supporting Gonzaga University, contact us at 800-388-0881 or plannedgiving@gonzaga.edu today.
