Memorial Giving
Memorial giving is the perfect way to financially support Ohioans To Stop Executions by honoring the life or work (or both) of a person special to you.
Individuals can make a gift as a way to celebrate work of attorneys and family members on specific clemency campaigns. Volunteers can be honored for their dedication and years of service. Memorial giving is the perfect way for you to acknowldge those whom you think should be honored.
Gifts can be made by victims' family members in honor of a loved one, by legal professionals to honor the work of capital defense attorneys and prosecutors and by individuals in the academic community who wish to honor colleagues' research in the capital punishment field. There are infinite possibilities and ways to say thank you. Memorial giving is one way that will work for you.
In addition to financially supporting OTSE, memorial giving also acknowledges the person being honored. Whenever memorial gifts are made, OTSE will acknowledge the gift and include information about the person being honored in its newsletters and publication materials. Memorial giving may also be done confidentially. To learn more about memorial giving, contact Kevin Werner today at 614-560-0654 or by e-mail at kwerner@otse.org
