Ways to Give

Every gift helps Lutheran Sunset Home continue to provide the quality of services that the residents and tenants entrusted to our care so richly deserve.

Whether large or small, one time or recurring, part of a fundraiser or an estate plan, they all make a difference and are very much appreciated.

MEMORIALS

Memorials and gifts to honor an individual or an occasion are an excellent way to provide a tribute to someone.

FOUNDERS "152" CLUB

The original Sunset Founders Club was organized in 1968 as an organization to assist the financial needs of Lutheran Sunset Home. Their major means of securing donations was the "52" Club which was based on the idea of pledging $1, $2 $4, or more per week for 52 weeks. The "52" Club and the Sunset Founders banquets were their major fundraising activities' from 1968 to 1988 (when it became inactive.)

To honor the dedicated original "Sunset Founders", Lutheran Sunset Home established the Founders "152" Club in 2015. It will include all persons who give a minimum of $152 in a calendar year. This will include cash gifts, memorials, and tributes that are given throughout the year. A plaque recognizing all members of the "152" Club will be updated on an annual basis.
