Honor Someone With Your Gift

A tribute gift is a powerful way to honor a life, express gratitude, or mark a meaningful occasion — all while fueling breakthrough progress in care.

What Is a Memorial or Honorary Gift?

A memorial or honorary gift is a contribution made in someone’s name, either in memory of a life well lived or in honor of someone making a difference today.

Memorial and honorary gifts can take many forms:

  • A birthday or anniversary fundraiser shared on social media

  • A one-time gift made in memory of a loved one

  • A tribute from a grateful parent or colleague to a teacher or therapist

  • A larger planned or estate gift that ensures long-term impact in someone’s name
