Honor Gifts
These gifts are given in honor of a living individual from an individual or a club. The honoree is notified of the donor’s gift, but not the amount of the gift. The donor may request a banner patch if the gift is at least $100. An honor gift is the perfect way to express good wishes to fellow Optimists or to family and friends celebrating a special event.
Memorials
These gifts are given in memory of a deceased individual from an individual or a club. If the donor provides the contact information for a remaining family member, the family is notified of the gift but not of the amount of the gift. The donor may request a banner patch if the gift is at least $100. Making a memorial gift to the CCOF is a loving tribute honoring the memory of a departed loved one. Giving a gift that will be perpetuated through the lives of young people is a wonderful way to remember someone special.
Honor/Memorial gifts are included in the dollar-per-member calculation. Clubs and individuals receive annual recognition and lifetime gift credit.
