another donation favor question

FH battled cancer for three years. Thankfully he's be in remission for a number of years. We are donating either to the Leukemia Society or to Make a Wish bc he had leukemia and benefited from make-a-wish. In addition, we have other family members affected by cancer and he had friends when he was sick who unfortunately didn't make it whom we also want to honor. My question is -- is there a way to incorporate all of this into our donation scroll? And, is there a way to subtly mention FH being a survivor and his connection to the organizations? Don't get me wrong -- I don't want to downplay what he went through. He's my hero! But, I know he will not want me to make a "big deal" of it...

Re: another donation favor question

I am not sure what they best way to word it is

I am doing a donation in memory of my Mom - she died from Lymphoma last night

I just wrote- In lieu of traditional favors
a donation has been made to the leukemia and Lymphoma society in your honor in memory of Joanne LXXXXX

I didn't want it to be too sad and upsetting-

maybe you could write- this is rought but

In lieu of traditional favors a donation has been made to leukemia Scoiety in Honor of FH, for winning his battle and for all those who we lost

it needs work...

Re: another donation favor question

Thanks for the suggestion... I talked to FH last night and he doesn't want to mention himself at all. Says he doesn't want to draw attention to that on that particular day and that enough people there will know the connection. He is right about that -- b/n people who know him and the fact that we have run two marathons for the cause and done fundraising -- most everybody there will be aware. I'm just so proud (and thankful) of him that I wanted to try and subtly mention in a way where he was still comfortable. Oh well -- I guess I have 9 months to try and convince him. Either way, we are giving money to a good cause and that's what is most important!

Re: another donation favor question

I see his point- he doesn't want that to take away from the day

I think if you just say where you are donating to - most people will get it
