Gifts in Honor or Memory of Someone Special
Celebrate someone meaningful in your life or honor the memory of a loved one with a gift to CDD.
Memorial and honorary gifts are a thoughtful way to recognize family members, friends, teachers, coworkers, or others who have made a difference in your life. Gifts can also commemorate special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, holidays, or other meaningful milestones.
Your tribute not only honors someone special—it helps create opportunities for children and adults with developmental disabilities to live, learn, work, connect, and thrive in their communities.
When you make a tribute gift, CDD will send a special notification to the person being honored or the family of the person being remembered. The notification will include the donor’s name but will not disclose the gift amount.
