At Here for the Girls, we help women with a breast cancer diagnosis live their best lives; sadly, some of those lives are cut short by this disease. We love all the women we serve, and we aim to help honor their passing through our In Our Hearts life celebration program.
This program includes a memorial of the deceased on our In Our Hearts web page, the name of the lost loved one in our annual ceremony, and inclusion in our annual In Our Hearts glass memorial sculpture.
Each year, during our annual remembrance ceremony in September, we gather the names of those we lost to hold in our hearts. To be included in this year's ceremony, please complete the form or share your submissions with support@hereforthegirls.org by August 31st.
Thanks to Nelsen Funeral Home & Crematory for supporting our In Our Hearts Program.
H4TG’s In Our Hearts life celebration program relies on input from those who loved our members who are no longer with us. Fill out our simple online form with basic information about the deceased (including a photo, if desired), and staff will add it to the website. On the form, you may indicate if you’d like a remembrance packet mailed.
If you would like to share information about an upcoming funeral, memorial, or life-celebration service for a Here for the Girls member, you may submit event details to our calendar. (Note: this is limited only to women who received services from Here for the Girls at some time during or after breast cancer treatment.)
