“The CCBA is a community gem. It provides something for everyone, whether it’s the free drop-in center for kids, the indoor pool and basketball courts, group fitness classes or the licensed preschool program, all ages are welcome and encouraged to be active and engaged.” – Liz K.

Thank you for sharing part of our history!
Make a Gift in Honor of Jim Vanier:
This year we are celebrating Jim Vanier’s 50 years at the Carter Community Building (CCB)! Jim, the Youth Program Coordinator and the CCBA’s longest-running employee, has dedicated his life to working with Lebanon youth at the after-school and summer Youth Drop-In Center. Jim grew up frequenting the CCB, and by the age of 15 he began working part-time for the organization. By 1973 he was a full-time employee, and the rest is history!
If you’d like to honor Jim and his lifelong commitment to the CCB, consider a gift to support kids’ programming and the mission of the CCBA organization.
Would you like to give to the Lebanon community in a lasting way?
You can fulfill your financial goals and help us serve the community by including a charitable gift in your estate plans.
These are just a few of many ways to leave your legacy:
- Bequests:If you are creating a will or trust, consider adding the CCBA as a beneficiary.
- Appreciated Securities: These include all gifts of stock and appreciated assets.
- Life Insurance: Adding us as a beneficiary to a life insurance policy at this stage is a relatively inexpensive way to give the CCBA a large gift as the premiums will currently be lower. These modest annual premium payments will yield a great benefit to the CCBA over time.
- Real Estate
- Personal Property
- Retirement Plan: If you have an IRA or some other form of qualified retirement plan from employment such as a 401k or 403b, consider adding the CCBA as an additional, split, or contingent beneficiary. We would receive 100% of the designated funds, as opposed to high tax rates for other designation types.
