Gifts by credit card may be made through the Medical Foundation's website.  Fill in the personal information, then choose "Departments," then "Orthopaedics."  There you will see a list of designated funds.

Gifts in Honor or Memory of a Friend or Loved One:
If you wish to make a gift in memory of a loved one or friend, please indicate your request in writing. For memorial or honorary gifts, please include the name and address to receive notification of your gift.

Planned Gifts
Planned giving refers to charitable gifts that are arranged as an integral part of an individual’s financial or estate planning and are executed over an extended period of time or at some point in the future. Planned giving vehicles can provide current tax benefits and revenue streams. Gift plans can be funded through funds such as stock and securities, appreciated assets, or life insurance policies.

Gift Pledges
You may make your gift through a pledge that can be paid in installments over a period of months or years.
