Tribute Wall of Remembrance and Hope

A tribute gift is a meaningful and special way to memorialize a loved one, commemorate a special occasion or honor a person’s legacy. Tribute gifts are lasting commitments to The Butterfly Project’s mission and ensure our financial strength for future generations. With a generous and tax-deductible gift, the person of note will receive a detailed, handwritten note commemorating the gift.

In Honor of Sheryl Gross. Happy Milestone Birthday to an incredible mom, wife, Bubbie, and retired elementary school teacher. You have inspired and helped shape many young lives throughout the past decades and have a meaningful desire to contribute to the ongoing importance of education about the Holocaust during World War 2. Especially during these current times when antisemitism is so alive in our world, it is even more pertinent for next generations of all faiths to learn about the collective Jewish ancestry and to honor the memory of the 1.5 million children who tragically lost their lives simply for being Jewish. We must never forget. We love you! Love, Your Daughter, Son-in-law, and Granddaughter
