Turn Remembrance Into Hope

The Thumbs Up Legacy Giving opportunity is creating a meaningful way for families and friends to honor loved ones who have died by suicide.

Through an annual gift, donors can create a lasting tribute while helping the Foundation expand its programs, increase awareness, provide education and resources, and reach more individuals and families who need support.

A gift to the Thumbs Up Legacy Foundation is more than a donation. It is a commitment to remember a life, support those who are struggling, and help create a future where no one has to face their pain alone.

Annual Giving Levels

Your gift helps transform remembrance into hope by sustaining programs that offer encouragement, education, and compassionate support. It allows us to reach more individuals and families seeking help, reminding them they are not alone and that hope, healing, and connection are possible.
