In Memory / Tributes
The practice of asking for donations to a favorite charity in memory of a deceased relative or friend is very thoughtful. A gift may also be given as a tribute in the name of a friend or relative to commemorate significant occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or special events.
During the past year, such requests have resulted in donations which benefit the National Headache Foundation. Acknowledgments of memorial gifts and tributes are mailed to the family or individual. We thank those benefactors and their families who have supported the NHF and its mission.
