Honor/Memorial gifts are a wonderful way to celebrate loved ones, special occasions, or recognize the caregivers who made a difference in your life.

Honor Gifts are made in honor of a family member; friend or colleague and a meaningful way to acknowledge a special occasion or individual in your life. It is also a wonderful way to recognize a physician, nurse or caregiver who provided extraordinary care.

Memorial Gifts are a thoughtful remembrance that celebrate the life of a family member, friend or colleague. Your gift is part of a legacy to support ARHS- helping to provide support for services you feel are most important.

The STAR Award Program allows donors and patients to recognize and thank one or more employees who go above and beyond their call to care.

Matching Gifts are one of the smartest ways to increase your support. Many companies offer to match donations their employees make to qualified charitable organizations, like the ARHS Foundation. These matches are often dollar-for-dollar, which doubles your charitable donation power. If your company has a matching gift program, you may participate by simply requesting a matching gift form from your employer. Send the form to us completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
