Tribute Trees

Berea College is proud to be a place where you can celebrate and honor important people and events. Tribute gifts are a special way to remember those individuals who make a difference. Tribute Trees can recognize your family, friends
or colleagues; a birthday, wedding anniversary, personal accomplishment or retirement. Your gift is actually three gifts one to someone you care for, one to future generations and one to the environment. Your Tribute gift supports Berea College and its mission to provide tuition scholarships for all students.
