Tributes A memorial is a personal remembrance that honors the life of a friend, relative or colleague with a gift of love and hope.
Tributes pay homage to living friends and family in celebration of a special occasion.
Not only do memorials and tributes celebrate a friend or loved one, they also make an important impact in the fight against heart disease and stroke. Contributions support research and educational efforts that save lives today and make life better for future generations. When memorial or tribute gifts are made to the American Heart Association, the person or family designated is sent a card acknowledging the gift in their name. The card does not contain the amount of the gift. Checks should be made out to the American Heart Association.
