Corinne Bauer estate gifts CMN<br />
more than $120,000<br />
Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) recently received a<br />
generous estate gift <strong>of</strong> more than $120,000 from <strong>the</strong> late<br />
Corinne Bertha (Foster) Bauer <strong>of</strong> Onalaska, Wis. She passed<br />
away a year ago at <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong> 90.<br />
Her generous gift will be placed in a permanent endowment <strong>for</strong><br />
Children’s Miracle Network. Estate gifts such as <strong>the</strong>se provide<br />
living legacies by ensuring children’s needs are met into <strong>the</strong><br />
future.<br />
Gail Preidel, Ms. Bauer’s niece, shares, “Corinne was a true<br />
advocate <strong>of</strong> children and was adamant about giving to<br />
Children’s Miracle Network because she knew <strong>the</strong> money<br />
would stay locally to help kids in our community.”<br />
Corinne Bauer was born in La Crosse on May 24, 1917, to<br />
Asa A. and Bertha (Hardie) Foster. She married Ernest A. Bauer<br />
on Dec. 14, 1940, in Milwaukee. She was employed by <strong>the</strong><br />
Milwaukee Railroad <strong>for</strong> many years, retiring in 1975. She was a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> First Presbyterian Church in La Crosse and also<br />
was a member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Onalaska Order <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eastern Star and a<br />
charter member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Onalaska Area Historical Society.<br />
The simplest and most popular method to remember CMN is<br />
by planning and making a bequest in <strong>you</strong>r will. Naming CMN<br />
as <strong>the</strong> beneficiary <strong>of</strong> charitable gift annuities, life insurance,<br />
retirement assets, appreciated stock, real estate and charitable<br />
remainder trusts, can be valuable both to <strong>the</strong> donor and to <strong>the</strong><br />
future <strong>of</strong> CMN. For more in<strong>for</strong>mation on how <strong>you</strong> can plan a<br />

<strong>Thank</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>you</strong>r generosity and continued support <strong>of</strong><br />
