Honor Their Life Through Giving

A charitable donation can be a way to honor a life. Some families choose to include a charity like Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation as part of a Memoria Page or life story, especially when cancer was part of their experience. It can be a way to acknowledge that journey and offer support to others, in their memory. Including a cause is optional. It’s simply one of many ways to remember.
