Why Should I Buy Honor and Memorial Cards?

 

 

Sending greeting cards is a common practice for most of us. Greeting card prices have skyrocketed during the past few years, and the card companies are making a lot of money. On average, you can spend about $4.00 per greeting card at a card store or supermarket. If you are like me and don’t think ahead, you find yourself buying cards at least a few times per month.

The Foundation has created two cards that can be used for any occasion. One card is designed to honor a specific event and the other is to acknowledge someone’s passing. They are creative, simple, and very effective. When your family, friend, or loved one opens the card to see a donation has been made in his or her honor to our organization, it will be a deeply touching experience. Not only have you thought of him/her on that special occasion, but you were also caring enough to consider others who can benefit from your thoughtfulness.

Imagine you are at home and your brother calls to remind you of your aunt’s 81st birthday. Quickly, you run out to the store, look through 25 cards, stand in line to pay, fill out the card, find a stamp, and take it to the post office. The Foundation’s card program can eliminate that hassle.

Or imagine that your friend’s mother has passed away and you want to send an acknowledgement to her family. The Foundation’s card program is the perfect way to send an appropriate sympathy card.

Simply dial 800.545.3286 and order a card over the phone. Our staff will take the information, fill out the card for you, and mail it that same day. We will keep a record of how many cards you send per month and bill you or we can charge your credit card. It doesn’t get much easier than that! Now, for a limited time only, the cost per card is $4.00. Cards are also available for purchase in packs of six to keep on hand at your home. The cost per pack is $20.00, a saving of $4.00!
