Honoring a Loved One with Memorial Giving


hon·or means regard with great respect; great esteem.
Understanding Works invites you to make a donation in honor of a loved one. Giving to a special charity is one of the top ten ways to honor someone's life. This can be done on a special occasion like a birthday, anniversary, graduation, bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah. Any occasion at all.
When you make a memorial gift in honor of someone who has touched your life, your tax-deductible donation will add to the celebration of life of your loved one by helping support the preservation of stories that are teaching history and compassion to young readers.
A personalized gift fund can be created in memory of someone who has passed away. It's a very meaningful way to celebrate the life of someone you've lost.
Contact Sue Rector either by email srector3614@gmail.com or by telephone at 563-343-7985 to discuss honoring a loved one or a memorial.
