Gifts of Celebration or Remembrance
Thank you for offering help and hope!
Making a gift that helps others is a wonderful way to celebrate a
milestone or remember an important person in your life.
Celebrating events such as graduations, weddings, promotions, retirements takes on a new meaning when you help to improve the lives of children, women and men in Santa Clara County. Likewise remembering those who have touched your life in a special way takes on greater meaning when your generosity helps those in need.
There are two ways to make a gift in celebration or remembrance:
You can contact Cindy Zbin at Catholic Charities by calling (408) 325-5125. Each gift is acknowledged by a card sent to the honored person or family of the deceased person in whose name the gift is being made. The notification does not include the amount of the gift. However, as a donor, you will receive a separate acknowledgement for your own records.
Memorial Gifts
Please note if you are planning for memorial gifts to Catholic Charities in lieu of flowers, it is suggested that the obituary notice includes this phrase:
“The family suggests memorial contributions be made to Catholic Charities. Please call (408) 325-5125 or mail your contribution to Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, 2625 Zanker Road, San Jose, CA 95134. Please list the name of the deceased with your gift.”
