Special Occasion and Memorial Acknowledgement

Gifts honoring the memory of someone dear who has died, or gifts in celebration of birthdays, anniversaries, a new home, a new baby or many other special occasions arrive at the Cancer Research Foundation daily.

This represents a current philanthropic trend in gift giving. Caring individuals and companies are making donations to CRF in someone's name, in lieu of client or staff gifts. It's truly a way to demonstrate that it is better to give than to receive.

Now it's even easier to give: In addition to personal checks and cash, you can charge your gift to VISA, MasterCard or American Express - by mail, by phoning our office, or online. Every contribution will receive a timely, personalized acknowledgement from CRF.

For further information, contact the Cancer Research Foundation at (312) 630-0055 or dial our website www.cancerrearchfdn.org.
