Tributes and My Heroes
Devereux's Tributes is an easy to use web-based way to support Devereux's mission while honoring a friend or loved one through a personalized mini-website.

Devereux supporters can easily build a custom website about a special person through easy-to-use design tools. Within 10-15 minutes they can send emails to friends and family asking them to visit the site and add to the tribute.

Tributes extend Devereux's network of friends and support of the mission. While the site set-up and follow-up are easily accomplished, the Devereux web team will help in the design of the Tribute site should the need arise.

Honor someone special today!
