Tribute and Memorial Gifts

If you or a loved one has been touched by Silver Cross, establishing a tribute or memorial gift is a meaningful way to honor someone or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary while supporting the Hospital. Your gift will be a lasting honor and make a difference in the lives of our patients.

When you make a tribute or memorial gift, we will send a personalized letter of your thoughtfulness to the family of the individual you are remembering – if contact name is provided. Please note that we do not disclose your gift amount.

Give online. Please be sure to note the name of the person you are honoring and include the contact information of the person(s) you would like us to notify.

Give by mail. Please make your check payable to “Silver Cross Foundation” and send to the following address:

Silver Cross Foundation
1900 Silver Cross Blvd.
New Lenox, IL 60451

Give by phone. To make a gift by credit or debit card via phone, please call (815) 300-7105.
