When someone close to you passes away, a gift to the DeGregorio Family Foundation can be a meaningful tribute to your loved one. It is also a way to express hope that we will one day beat stomach and esophageal cancer. When you make an In Memory donation, the DeGregorio Family Foundation will send a letter of acknowledgement to the bereaved family to let them know that you have made a gift to help us turn fact into fiction.
The foundation can provide you with a respectful memorial page in support of the DeGregorio Family Foundation to celebrate and honor the life of your loved one. The online tribute allows you to share photos and precious memories with family and friends around the world; they in turn can write messages and make a donation in lieu of flowers.
Many families request that guests make a gift to the DeGregorio Family Foundation rather than giving flowers at a funeral. If this is your preference, we can send information to assist you. Please contact our Executive Director at lynn@degregorio.org and we will send you brochures and self-addressed envelopes so that guests may learn more about the work of the foundation and make gifts conveniently.
If you would like friends and mourners to make a donation in lieu of flowers, you may wish to include this request in your loved one’s death notice. Please consider the following wording:
