Donation “In Memory Of” – A Memorial Donation is a meaningful and hopeful way to honor someone special in your life while supporting Parkinson’s. One way to remember family members and friends who have lived before us is through a Memorial Donation. Such donations represent a heartfelt way to honor their memory, while furthering the goals and resources that enhance the lives of the Parkinson community. You can honor the life of a family member or friend by making a Memorial Donation in his or her name.

When you make a Memorial Donation, your Honoree’s family, spouse, or significant other will receive a notification from the Columbia Parkinson’s Support Group of your thoughtful Memorial Donation.

Donation “In Honor Of” – Experiencing the effects of Parkinson’s disease upon a loved one’s life inspires many to donate in that person’s honor. If you sometimes have trouble finding the “perfect gift” for someone, a gift donation given in his or her “Honor” can be a most appreciated gesture; and can be sincere reminders to friends or family members of how much you care. You can Honor a loved one, who is living with Parkinson’s disease, by making a gift donation in his or her name. Those who make gifts to Honor a Parkinson patient enjoy knowing that their gifts are a “living memorial” to their loved one.

You can show your appreciation of your caregiver or your care partner and donate in their “Honor”.

Gifts can be made “In Honor Of” loved ones at special times such as:

When you make a Honor donation, the Columbia Parkinson’s Support Group will send to the Honoree you have designated a notification of your thoughtful Honor tribute you have made in their name.

Satisfaction and Goodwill – Helping to provide support and programs for those living with Parkinson’s gives one satisfaction and a feeling of goodwill.
