A "Gift of Remembrance" to the Prostate

These gifts are a gratifying way for individuals, organizations,
businesses
and groups to memorialize someone while supporting the Prostate
Cancer Research Institute's mission.
A memorial card is sent. Please include
name and address of the appropriate person(s). The amount of the
gift is not indicated. Every gift is tax deductible and the donor
receives an acknowledgment.
A memorial contribution is a particularly
meaningful way to remember friends and loved ones while helping the
Institute to expand its important programs.
A "gift in honor" is a special way to
recognize a friend or loved one's birthday, anniversary or other
important event while also benefiting the PCRI mission.
With each memorial or "gift in honor" contribution
received, a card is sent. Please
include the name and address of the person you would like to be
notified of your contribution. The donor will also receive an acknowledgment
card. It is PCRI's policy to acknowledge
all memorial and "gift in honor" contributions promptly after receipt.
