Unique Gift Giving Through Shriners Hospitals

Those in search of an unforgettable and timeless gift may find an
excellent opportunity in a surprising place.


Those in search of an unforgettable and timeless gift may find an
excellent opportunity in a surprising place. In a gesture that gives in
more ways than one, you can recognize loved ones and admired role models
by naming a physical structure at Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Donations may be designated at any of the 22 Shriners Hospitals.
Structures include buildings, wings, hospital rooms and other major
public or patient areas.

Shriners Hospitals for Children-Twin Cities was the first hospital to
have a donation designated under these guidelines. The donor, the Kerry
and Linda Killinger Foundation, donated $1 million in honor of Linda
Killinger's father, Richard G. Cottington. Staff at the Twin Cities
hospital held a recognition ceremony to designate the room, and the
Richard G. Cottington Operating Room is now marked with a beautiful plaque.

Cottington is a Past Potentate, or president, of Abu Bekr Shriners in
Sioux City, Iowa, and a Past Board Member of the Twin Cities Shriners
Hospital.

"My father is thrilled with the opportunity to contribute to Shriners
Hospitals," said Kil-linger. "We hope that our gift will inspire others
to donate to your worthy cause."

Suggested levels for recognition:

Building-$25 million

Wing-$10 million

Major Area such as a courtyard or auditorium-$5 million

Operating Rooms, Treatment Rooms-$1 million

Patient Rooms, Hallways, Other Rooms-$250,000

Other Capital Items-100 percent of the cost
