Tributes and Memorials

Gifts to honor a beloved pet, family member or friend are a thoughtful way to pay tribute or memorialize someone special. Your gift will support the School of Veterinary Medicine and our mission to advance the health of animals, people and the environment. If you share the honoree’s address with us, we will send a letter notifying the honoree of your generosity (we do not share the amount of your gift).
