Memorial Giving and Tributes

Honor the memory of a loved one through Memorial Giving. Your gift is a lasting tribute to the joy that barbershop singing brought to their life. Sweet Adelines International is deeply grateful not only to the singers who choose our organization for their musical home but also to their families and friends who supported and shared in their musical journey.

Virtual Memorial Wall

We honor the following Sweet Adelines members, cherished family members, and friends all of whom have given so much to this organization. Their beautiful voices, unique personalities, and loyal friendship helped form us as singers and Sweet Adelines. Through stories, memories, and songs, we continue their legacy. 

For the love of music

Sweet Adelines bring passion, precision, and joy to singing. They share a deep generosity of spirit with audiences and with each other. A charitable gift in memory of a Sweet Adelines or their loved ones ensures that their love of barbershop music continues for generations to come. In our role as stewards of their musical legacy and your memorial gifts, we hope to help celebrate the life of a beautiful person and bring a measure of peace and comfort during this difficult time.
