In Honor of Dad - The Perfect Father's Day Gift
Dads are imperfect and often hard to honor well. Try honoring the important dad in your life this Father's Day by giving a gift inspired by him.
Give a gift in honor of an important dad and we'll send an email letting that dad know you've contributed in his honor. We'll include your personalized note and you'll share the experience of helping someone, just like that dad in your life helped you and those important to you.
Whether you're helping a dad or helping someone in the way that the important dad in your life helped you, giving in honor of Father's Day is the most moving gift you can send.
It's easy, click "support" on one of the needs you see below, check the box that says "I want to honor someone else with this gift" and let us know whom you'd like to honor.
What better way to celebrate and honor dad than by helping someone like he helped you along the way?
