Legacy Giving
Honoring Lives. Supporting Hope. Expanding Reach.
Create a lasting tribute to someone you love while helping more individuals and families find compassion, connection, and hope.
Turn Remembrance Into Hope
The Thumbs Up Legacy Giving opportunity creates a meaningful way for families and friends to honor loved ones who have died by suicide.
Through an annual gift, donors can create a lasting tribute while helping Thumbs Up expand programs, increase awareness, provide education and resources, and reach more individuals and families who need support.
A legacy gift is more than a donation. It is a commitment to remember a life, support those who are struggling, and help create a future where no one has to face their pain alone.
