Living Tribute Program
Make a contribution to Pickering Creek Audubon Center in memory of a loved one or to honor someone special. What better way to honor the environmentalist in your life than by giving the gift of preserving the natural environment?  Giving a contribution in the name of someone who has passed away is a beautiful way to pay tribute to his or her love of nature. The memory of a loved one lives on in our sanctuaries, our educational outreach, our science programs and all of our other efforts to protect birds, wildlife and habitat.  Give Here Please put a check mark next to “I would like to dedicate this donation” and you will have an opportunity to insert the type of tribute you are making, the name of whom it is for, and a place to insert a name and address if there is someone you would like us to notify of your gift.

You can give contributions in honor of anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, weddings, or other special occasions. A contribution given in someone’s honor is a beautiful way of commemorating a special day or event, or just giving thanks for someone special in your life. When you give an honorarium or memorial gift, the person honored or the family of the person memorialized will receive an acknowledgement of your tax deductible gift. Your token of appreciation recognizes that person’s contribution to Maryland’s environment at the same time that it broadens and continues their legacy by supporting to Pickering Creek Audubon Center’s work.
