One of the greatest satisfactions in making a charitable gift is the opportunity to pay tribute to someone who touched your life in a significant way. Through a commemorative gift, in memory of someone who is deceased or in honour of someone who is living, you may honour a relative and perpetuate your family name, or you may recognize a mentor or friend. At the same time, your gift expresses your commitment to the future of your community, and provides valuable support for the charitable purposes you believe in.
