Honor and Memorial Gifts

You can make a gift in honor or in memory of a friend or a loved one.

Many people find it meaningful to make a gift in honor of someone who is fighting cancer or in memory of a friend or a loved one. Others want to recognize those who make a difference in the lives of cancer patients, such as a physician or a nurse. You can designate a gift for any occasion including a birthday, an anniversary, or a holiday, or even to express appreciation or love.

Making an Honor or Memorial Gift

You can make an honor or memorial gift in one of two ways, either by including a form with your mailed payment, or by donating on-line.

By phone: Contact the Winship Development Office at (404) 778-5175.

By mail: Print the Winship Online Giving Form and include it with your check. Please be sure to include the name of the person the gift is in honor of, and the name/s and address/es of whom you would like us to notify about the gift.

Please make checks payable to Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and mail to:

Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University

Directing a Memorial Gift

To direct memorial gifts in honor of a loved one, please instruct family and friends to make checks payable to Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University and include the loved one's name in the memo line. Here is sample language that can be used for memorial gifts in obituary: "In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, Office of Gift Records, Emory University, 1762 Clifton Rd. NE, Suite 1400, Atlanta, GA 30322."

Gift acknowledgments are sent to both the donor and to the person or family the donor specifies, although the amount of the donation is not revealed.

We are happy to answer your questions and to provide more information about supporting Winship with honor or memorial gifts. Please contact the Winship Development Office at (404) 778-5175.
