How to Give a Gift in memory or in honor of someone:

- A personal acknowledgement will be sent stating that a gift has been received in memory of the individual specified and that it will be used to further the Center’s mission.
- The amount of the gift will not be disclosed.
Personal Fundraising Pages:
A great way to show support to a friend or family member, express gratitude to a clinician or staff member from the Center, or to honor a loved one’s memory by increasing cancer awareness is through a personal fundraising page. The easy-to-create page can help you raise funds for the Center’s life-enhancing services, and is dedicated to your cause, event, or occasion. The pages work well for tributes, birthdays, and weddings, to name a few.

Other Types of Gifts:
