We have all been privileged to know and love a special person or horse who has helped us realize a dream or inspired us to succeed. These inspirational people and horses deserve recognition, and the American Quarter Horse Foundation has the perfect way to do that. Through a memorial/honorary gift to the American Quarter Horse Foundation in their name, you can honor your loved one as well as help others.
Memorial gifts honor the memory of someone who touched your life in a special way. Often, families ask for memorials in funeral notices as a way of honoring loved ones. The Foundation can help you include memorial gift information in obituaries. Contact us for more information. Sample sentences include:
Many people make annual memorial contributions to remember the birthday or anniversary of a loved one.
Honorariums also provide donors a way to express their appreciation or love and respect for a living family member, friend, coworker or other special person. This is also a thoughtful way to commemorate a special equine award or accomplishment.
Memorial/Honorarium Acknowledgement
The honoree, next of kin or owner receives a gift card acknowledging your gift. Their name also will be published in The American Quarter Horse Journal and the Foundation’s Web page.
When making your gift, please indicate the name of the person you wish to honor and provide a mailing address as appropriate in a short note or in the memo portion of a check addressed to the Foundation. We will be honored to send a notification of your generous remembrance to the individual or individuals memorialized or honored. Your gift amount is not disclosed. You may also make a secure online gift to the Foundation or one if its programs in honor or memory of someone.
In addition to honoring your loved one, your gift supports the education of our youth, research for equine afflictions, therapeutic riding grants and the Hall of Fame & Museum. An honorary gift is also a wonderful way to celebrate your friend’s birthday, anniversary or special event.
