has passed on.
You might call it the perfect gift. Never the wrong size, suits every personality, won’t collect
dust... What is it, you ask? It’s a charitable donation, a gift of lasting significance.
An attractive card,
acknowledging your tax-deductible contribution, will be mailed to the individual or family you
select.

In VARIETY’S case, your contribution in memory or honor of a loved one will help a child walk, hear, talk or ride a
bike with his friends. These children gain independence and mobility that would never be possible without
your assistance.
So, give a gift that will last a lifetime - both in the eyes of your loved one, and in the hearts of these
children.
