MEMORIALS AND TRIBUTE GIFTS
HONOR SOMEONE SPECIAL WITH A GIFT IN THEIR NAME
If you have a loved one who has been impacted by the YMCA of the Fox Cities, establishing a memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor them or celebrate a special occasion, such as a birthday, while supporting our mission. Your memorial or tribute gift will be a lasting tribute to your loved one and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
AN EXAMPLE OF HOW IT WORKS
When John's mother passed away, he knew he wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for her. He remembered that during her lifetime she was always praising the YMCA of the Fox Cities for its tireless efforts to better the community.
John decided to make a gift to the YMCA of the Fox Cities in his mother's name using appreciated securities. Not only will his mother's legacy live on at the YMCA of the Fox Cities thanks to the gift, but John also qualified for a federal income tax charitable deduction and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
