Tributes & Memorials

Making a gift to help our medically complex children is a wonderful way to celebrate a milestone or to honor the memory of a loved one. When making gifts of this kind, please let us know your full name, address and phone number, indicate the name of the person being honored or memorialized and also include the name and address of the person or family who should receive an acknowledgement letter. We will send an acknowledgement letter to the individual or family you have designated to inform them that you have made a contribution in honor of or in memory of a loved one. We do not include gift amount information in this letter.

Matching Gifts

By taking advantage of your employer’s matching gift program, you may double or even triple the amount of your charitable contribution. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer and send it completed and signed with the receipt of your gift. We will do the rest!

Planned Gifts

A planned gift is a wonderful way to provide a legacy of impact. Gifts made through bequests, life insurance, charitable trusts, real estate and transfers of appreciated stock can provide significant tax advantages to the donor, while positively impacting the lives of children that will require critical medical services in years to come.
