Memories of Ellie



In Lieu of Flowers

DONATIONS BEING ACCEPTED IN MEMORY OF ELLIE


In lieu of flowers, we are asking for donations to University of Arizona Athletics, so that we can engrave Ellie's name on a Legacy Lane tile outside of McKale Center. If at least $600 is donated, we will be able to engrave a full 2' x 2' tile, with a customized message and the "A" logo. 


Here is an overview picture of Legacy Lane

Donation with a credit card:

To pay by credit card, it is best to call Courtney Anthony at 520-626-0921. Tell her you are making a donation in memory of Ellie Avila (**Again, important so they know to put the donation toward her fund). She will get the info, process it, and mail you a receipt. She said it is difficult to make them online in memory of someone, so it is easiest to call her directly.
