Honor & Memorial Gifts
El Refugio's Honor and Memorial Gift program is a wonderful way to recognize someone or mark a special occasion—celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or holiday, sharing a memory or saying thank you.  The refuge has many ways to help you celebrate someone special.

Once your gift is received, El Refugio de Potosi will notify the honoree or honoree's family with a letter describing the Memorial or Honor gift.  With a purchase of $25 or more, your gift can be listed in a special section of the our website; Our Honor Roll.

Naming Opportunities
Once in a lifetime naming opportunities are available for the various construction projects still in the development phase at El Refugio. Please contact Laurel Patrick at info@elrefugiodepotosi.org if you are interested in helping in this significant way.
