You can memorialize a friend or loved one, express your thanks for care received, or honor a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion with a tribute gift to Wills Eye Foundation. When making a tribute gift, please indicate the name of the person being honored and the address you would like us to send a notification (the amount of your gift is not shared).
If you would like friends and family to contribute to Wills Eye in lieu of funeral flowers, the obituary notice may include a statement such as “The family requests that contributions be made to Wills Eye Foundation, 840 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.” If you would like to benefit a specific Wills Eye department, fund or Service, you may indicate this request in the obituary (ex. “The family requests that contributions be made to Wills Eye Foundation for the Fund for Vision, 840 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.”). So we are aware of the memorial as well as whom to contact, please contact the Development Office at 215 440-3154 or giving@willseye.org before the notice is published.
When contact information is provided, Wills Eye Foundation gratefully acknowledges all tribute gifts with a letter to the person or family being honored (the amount of your gift is not shared).
