Gifts in Memory

Honoring the Memory of Alumni, Educators, Friends & Family

Making a difference for a child with a Gift in Memory is a wonderful way to pay tribute to an individual who has made a difference in your life. When a gift is made, the individual’s name is recognized on our website as a lasting tribute.
