Honor a loved one with a meaningful memorial
Children’s Minnesota’s tribute giving program provides a special opportunity to honor a loved one. It’s a powerful way to celebrate a meaningful milestone, or to create a memorial of those who have touched our lives. Your tribute gift can be designated to a specific program or area of Children’s Minnesota or to the area of greatest need.
There are a few ways to facilitate memorials:
Create an honor page
By creating a fundraising page, you can create a page that honors your loved one’s life and create a lasting impact for future kids at Children’s Minnesota.
Some benefits:
- Celebrate and share your loved one’s life/journey and connection to Children’s Minnesota
- Share the page easily with friends and family locally and beyond
- Receive donation updates (who gave) in real-time
- Thank donors in a quicker time frame
- Evergreen page – can direct friends and family on special days or milestones throughout the years
- Set up donations to be designated/focus area your loved one cared about
