Gail's Favorite Charities

Many people have asked about a charity for contributions in Gail's honor.

Gail made everyone feel special, and spent hours each week giving money to many charities. I asked her several times which ones were her favorites, and she promised to get back to me on that.

I would suggest, if you are a dancer, give a donation to the dance group you were with. Recorder player, the recorder group. Musician, historian, AARP member, YMCA member, etc. Donate to your appropriate memory in her name.

She seemed to particularly enjoy local charities where she could see the good being done, such as the local Food Bank and Habitat for Humanity. She also loved her church. The Lloyd Shaw Foundation certainly comes to mind as well.

As for other charities, she has a particularly soft spot in her heart for soldiers and children.

If you represent a group that Gail loved and supported, please add a comment and I will publish your name and address here.
