Grateful Giving
Honor the Bethesda Caregivers Who Made a Difference
Bethesda’s Grateful Giving Program allows patients, residents, and their families the opportunity to recognize a Bethesda Caregiver whose dedication and compassion helped them or their loved one when they needed it most. All Bethesda employees and volunteers are eligible to be honored as Bethesda Shining Stars!
Making a Gift
Grateful Giving tributes can be made at any time throughout the year with the donation form found below.
When you make a Grateful Giving tribute:
- A personal note from you will be shared with the honored employee/volunteer.
- Their supervisor will be notified so they can be publicly recognized.
- The employee will receive a Bethesda Shining Star lapel pin to proudly wear on their name badge.
The gift amount will not be disclosed, and you may remain anonymous if desired.
