Remember a loved one or honor a special occasion with a unique gift in their name!
Commemorative gifts can be made in honor of a friend or family member, in celebration of birthdays or anniversaries, or serve as a special, life-long tribute. These gifts create a legacy that lives on at Oakland’s new Visitor Center garden and provide important support to our mission.
The Foundation will send a certificate to the individual or families that are honored by your generous donation to let them know that the gift was made in their honor and we will hold a ceremonial dedication in 2025. Select from a Tribute Bench, Large Hardwood Tree or Medium Flowering/Understory Tree.
