In lieu of flowers
The family kindly requests that donations be made to the causes that were important to Bill including, but of course not limited to: Child Safety and Prevention of Child Abuse (ie Safer Society and Prevent Child Abuse Vermont); Parkinsons Disease Research and Care (ie Michael J. Fox Foundation and Davis Phinney Foundation); Cancer Research and Care; and Catholic Charities.
A private note
If You Wish to Let Bill's Family Know
If you have made a donation, arranged a mass, offered a gift, or found your own quiet way of honoring Bill's memory, his family would be deeply touched to hear about it. Whether it is a description, a word about the cause you chose, or simply a thought you wish to share — any note is a gift in itself.
You are warmly invited to reach out at any time by writing to the family directly at memories@drbillcunningham.com. Your message will be received with love and kept close to the family's hearts.
Of course, this is entirely optional. The family is grateful beyond words for every beautiful way you have chosen to remember Bill.
And in Bill's words, "May the love our hearts pass through these hands to you, and you, and you..."
