Build. Protect. Pass It On.

Everyone’s talking about building wealth. But without a plan, everything you’ve worked for can be lost in a heartbeat.

Protect the Legacy is an unforgettable evening designed to empower families, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to protect what matters most—your assets, your values, your future.

📅 One Night Only in Charlotte
You’ll engage with a dynamic panel of community leaders, wealth strategists, and changemakers sharing real stories and strategies to ensure your hard work isn’t wiped out by nursing home bills, court fees, or unclaimed assets.

💡 Our Goal: Facilitate 150 wills. Spark community conversation around estate planning. Raise $20,000 to expand Konspicuous Foundation programs that provide estate planning, financial literacy, and legacy protection resources to underserved families in Charlotte.

Why This Night Matters

Konspicuous Foundation is launching a bold initiative to stop the silent wealth drain that’s bankrupting families through:

  • Unplanned custodial care stays
  • Disputes over unplanned inheritances
  • Loss of assets through poor recordkeeping

We’re not just closing wealth gaps—we’re creating blueprints for inheritance: dollars, deeds, and wisdom that last for generations.

This is a legacy conversation we can’t ignore.

What to Expect

  • Impact Awards honoring local changemakers
  • Interactive experiences to help you start protecting your own legacy
  • Panel conversations that bring clarity, courage, and action steps
  • A room full of leaders, doers, and dreamers committed to building wisely and protecting it intentionally
