Remembering a Friend or Family Member

A memorial gift is a thoughtful and meaningful way to honor the memory of a lost loved one or friend.

When you make a donation in memory of a friend or family member, we promptly send a personalized letter to the person or family you have named, notifying them of your memorial gift, but not revealing the amount. Every contribution is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law, and the donor receives a letter acknowledging the gift.

By making a gift to the Emergency Resuscitation Center, you support our efforts to identify the causes and potential interventions for sudden cardiac death, through research, and professional and public education.

It's easy to make memorial gift and all gifts make a difference! For additional information or to discuss other giving opportunities, including gifts of appreciated securities, real estate, bequests, or life-income gifts (trusts and annuities), please contact:
