Memorial funds create a living legacy. In many cases, a family member may request that friends and relatives make donations- rather than send flowers-to support a chosen cause in memory of their loved one. Families may wish to go one step further and establish a fund that encapsulates a loved one's passion and spirit.  

The Foundation works closely with families to create a memorial fund which captures the essence of the family's vision. Whether there is the need to create a program, such as a specially named and endowed award or symposium, or to support an existing initiative or area of research in memory of a loved one, the Foundation makes all necessary preparations. Once the initial donation is made a memorial fund is created.
