Memorial gifts are personal remembrances that honor the life of a departed friend, shipmate or family member.  These gifts are often made “in lieu of flowers” and forever link your loved one with the mission of Tin Can Sailors. Honor a friend, relative or colleague celebrating a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, promotion, retirement, or birth.  This type of donation is often made “in lieu of gifts” and allows your honoree to participate in the mission of supporting the museum ships. back to top   Planned Giving Tin Can Sailors offers several opportunities for donors to include the Grant Program in their wills or to give using other means, such as life insurance.
