Dr. John Dougherty Legacy Giving Program
Leave a Gift of Care for Generations to Come
Legacy giving offers a powerful way for supporters to make a lasting impact on the causes they care about most.
Through the Dr. John Dougherty Legacy Giving Program, friends of the Tennessee Memory Disorders Foundation can ensure that their commitment to advancing memory care and research continues for generations to come. Legacy gifts—often made by including the TMDF in a will, trust, or estate plan—allow donors to establish a personal legacy of compassion and support.

In honor of Dr. John Dougherty
This program honors the late Dr. John Dougherty, who was an esteemed neurologist in Knoxville and beloved mentor of Dr. Monica Crane, whose life’s work and his own journey with Lewy Body Disease, continues to inspire excellence.
His wife, Leanne Dougherty, carries forward his vision and devotion as the first to leave a legacy gift to the Foundation, in his memory. Through planned giving, donors like Leanne help sustain innovative programs, research, and patient care, ensuring that Dr. Dougherty’s spirit of mentorship and service endures well into the future.
