Legacy Council

The ECS Legacy Council is a committee primarily made up of past Children’s Champion honorees.  The purpose of the Legacy Council is to create a lasting reminder of the many generous gifts the various Legacy Council members have given to the community’s children in their own unique and compassionate way. The members will help introduce people in our community to the good work of ECS, assist in hosting the Children’s Champion event, and play a key role in selection of the Children’s Champion honoree each year.
