Special Recognition for your “Hero”

Each of us has special people and loved ones that play important roles in our lives - a parent, sibling, spouse, grandparent, beloved pet; or perhaps there is a significant person outside your immediate family, a special ‘Hero’, who helped shape your life into what it is today and had a significant and positive influence upon your life – a teacher, coach, mentor.
Please remember that the North Carolina High School Athletic Association has a wonderful vehicle through which individuals can make tax-deductible donations to the NCHSAA Endowment Fund ‘In Honor’ or ‘In Memory’ of a special ‘Hero’.
Since the inception of the Fund in 1991, donors have taken advantage of this special way to recognize people who make a difference or have made a difference in their respective lives. Hundreds of honorariums and memorials have been made in the past sixteen years.
How can you make a tax-deductible donation to honor or memorialize a special ‘Hero’ in your life?  Complete an NCHSAA Donor Card or attach a note to your donation stating your wishes and mail to NCHSAA Endowment Fund, PO Box 3216, Chapel Hill, NC 27515-3216.  In addition, the staff will also notify next of kin when donations are made ‘In Memory’ of a loved one and will notify the honoree when an ‘In Honor’ donation is made.
The next time you wonder how to honor or memorialize a significant and special individual in your life, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the NCHSAA Endowment Fund in the person’s honor or memory.
