Honouring a loved one with a gift in memory is a very generous gesture.
This simple act ensures that their memory lives on and leaves a lasting impact.
There are many ways you can choose to honour your loved one and support The Fred Hollows Foundation:
1. Make a donation on their behalf
When making your donation, we would love to hear the name of the person that the gift is in memory of and why you have chosen to donate in their legacy.
2. Create a tribute page
Create a tribute page on our website to collect donations in memory of your loved one. You can share this with your friends, family and perhaps if you like, on the funeral or memorial invitation. You can personalise your page as much as you want, including stories, photos or videos of the special person that you are celebrating. You can create your tribute page here.
3. Collect donations at a memorial or funeral service
Many families and friends choose to collect donations at a funeral or memorial in lieu of flowers to celebrate their loved ones values and passion in life. Once you have created a tribute page, you can then share the link with loved ones who wish to show their support. You can create your tribute page here.
