A gift in memory or honor of a loved one is a thoughtful way to honor family members or friends or mark a special occasion. At the same time, you can provide support for the Aquarium’s education, conservation and research programs.

The Aquarium recognizes these gifts twice per year in Riverwatch, our quarterly publication. Recognition is also provided in our Annual Report. A personal letter from the Tennessee Aquarium’s CEO, Charlie Arant, will be sent directly to the person being honored or to the family of the person being memorialized.

If you would like to honor special people in your life, there are three ways you can make a gift:

1. You can  “Donate Now” to make your gift online. Be sure to fill in the name and address of the person you like to be notified of your gift.
2. You can send your request to:
   Tennessee Aquarium - Development Dept.
   Attn: Heather DeGaetano
   One Broad Street
   Chattanooga, TN 37402
   Please include the name and address of the person you would like to be notified of your gift.
3. You can call the Development Department. If you would like to give your gift by telephone or if you would like to discuss your gift and how the contribution will be used, please contact Heather DeGaetano, Development Manager, at (423) 785-4106.
