Tribute gifts are a beautiful way to celebrate someone special.

Each tribute comes with a personal touch—an acknowledgment sent to the honoree or their family, showing your gratitude while supporting healthcare excellence. This is more than a gift; it's a lasting tribute to those who have profoundly touched your life.
By honoring a caregiver who went the extra mile to care for you or a loved one through a gift to the St. Joseph’s/Candler Foundations, you directly impact our ability to care for patients by providing essential resources for a healthier tomorrow. When a donation is made through our Care Champion program, the person you are honoring will be presented with a letter of recognition, a Care Champion certificate, and a lapel pin. Your message of appreciation will also be shared with your honoree’s supervisor and his or her professional colleagues.
