Thank you! VDF's 2008 Annual Appeal has been a great success thanks to your generous donations. So far we've exceeded last year's donations which are still rolling in. You can still make a tax-deductive donation online at www.vdf.org to support our mission. We'd also like to thank the folks at Traffic Pillow (www.TrafficPillow.com) for their generous donation of travel pillows for those donors who gave more than $25 in support or VDF's annual appeal. Thank you!

"In Memory of" and "In Honor of" Envelopes Available VDF has created a preprinted envelope in response to requests from supporters who have contributed "In Memory of" and "In Honor of" a loved one. This can simplify and expedite your desire to memorialize or honor a special person through a donation to VDF. If you would like to receive these special envelopes, call us at 888.VDF.4INFO or contact us by e-mail at info@vdf.org.
