Honor and Memorial Giving 

This page is dedicated to honoring the lives of those who have touched our hearts. Their stories inspire us to continue advocating for mental health support, reminding us that no one is alone in their journey.

A gift made in honor or in memory of a loved one helps ensure that more families have access to life-changing mental health support.

 

Your donation provides parents with the resources and guidance they need to advocate for their child’s well-being, breaking down barriers to care and creating a future where no family has to navigate this journey alone.

​​

By honoring your loved one, you are making a lasting impact on the lives of children and families who need support.

If you’d like us to notify someone of your tribute gift, simply provide their contact information in the form.

What's the difference between "In Honor Of" and "In Memory Of" Donations?

The difference comes down to who or what you're recognizing.

​

An "in honor of" donation is a way to recognize someone who has made a difference in your child’s life—whether it’s an advocate who fought alongside you, a special education teacher who truly saw your child, or a friend who supported you through the toughest moments. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate their impact while helping other parents get the support and resources they need.

​

An "in memory of" donation is a heartfelt way to honor someone who has passed away, especially if they struggled with their own mental health or cared deeply about the well-being of others. Whether they were an advocate, a supporter, or someone who faced their own challenges, your gift ensures their legacy lives on—helping other families access the resources, support, and understanding they need.
