Gifts in Honour
Honour the memory of a loved one with a donation in lieu of
flowers, or celebrate a special life milestone by making a donation
in lieu of giving gifts.
Giving a donation In Memoriam is a wonderful way to pay tribute to
a loved family member, friend, neighbour or colleague. Families can
take comfort in the knowledge that their loved one is being
remembered for a life well lived, while contributing to Diabetes
Queensland so that others will live a better life.
An In Celebration donation to Diabetes Queensland is a way to
honour friends and family on their special day by contributing to a
cause that will help make a difference to many lives.
How to arrange a Gift in
Honour
By offering family and friends the opportunity to make a donation
to Diabetes Queensland in lieu of flowers at a funeral or in lieu

better treatments and a cure, and to support people to live well
with diabetes.
