Tributes

Tribute Giving is a way to recognize, honor, and celebrate people and events that are important to you by giving back to others. You can provide support, care, comfort, and hope to those in the Ehlers-Danlos community who need it most.

In Honor

Celebrate the life and legacy of someone dear by creating a lasting tribute in their memory. Instead of flowers, you can ask family and friends to support The Ehlers-Danlos Society. These gifts will fund vital research, education, and community support for those affected by EDS and HSD.

In Memory

Celebrate life’s milestones—birthdays, anniversaries, or special holidays—in a way that gives back. Instead of gifts, ask loved ones to donate to The Ehlers-Danlos Society in your honor, helping to advance research and improve care for the EDS and HSD community.

Inspired

If you’ve been touched by the strength and resilience of someone living with EDS or HSD, consider making a celebration donation in their honor. Whether it’s someone you admire for their courage or a personal story that has moved you, your gift will help support vital research, education, and community programs that make a lasting impact.

Your donation will not only celebrate the spirit of those who inspire us but also help drive forward a future where those affected by EDS and HSD can live fuller, healthier lives. Together, we can build a community of hope and support.
