Frequently Asked Questions

The FPS Beach of Inspiration is a place of respite where we can peacefully honor and remember our loved ones. This space showcases the love we have for our friends and family, and allows us to share messages of inspiration.

There are two options to donate (memorial or honorarium), and you choose your gift type on the donation form. Once you make your gift, it will create a new page or be added to an existing page. If you think a loved one already has a page, PLEASE search their name first to avoid a duplicate page creation. If multiple people create a page for a loved one, the page will be launched by the first person to create the page and all other messages will be added to that page.

What is a gift in memory or a memorial gift?

These gifts are made to keep the memory of a loved one alive. You can choose to make a memorial donation in lieu of flowers upon their passing or years after a loved one passes. If you are creating a memorial page at the time of the funeral or life celebration, please email Alisa@takeabreakfromcancer.org so she can send some materials to the funeral home.

What is a gift in honor or a honorarium gift?

These gifts can be self created or made in honor of a loved one who is still with us. Some people choose to create a honorarium campaign in lieu of presents  or wedding /anniversary gifts, if you would like to set that type of ongoing giving up, please contact Info@takeabreakfromcancer.org. If you would like to make a donation in honor of a loved one, you can email them a link to their page after it is posted and tell them how much they mean to you!

What other creative ways can I use a page on the Beach of Inspiration?

  • You can celebrate your birthday or the birthday of a loved one! Donate your birthday to FPS and share your page so friends can make a donation instead of buying a present.
  • Set up a page to recognize someone special. You can recognize a teacher, principal or employee that has gone above and beyond!
  • See the difference a community makes and be the light for your school, team or workplace! Get your classmates, teammates or colleagues on board and set a fundraising goal with FPS.

Can others give to my page on the Beach of Inspiration?

Yes! We encourage you to share this page with friends and family, and have even included social sharing icons at the bottom of your page for ease of sharing. Invite others to make a donation and leave a message of hope and love!

Will I be notified when someone makes a donation to my page?

Unfortunately, we do not have the capability to provide you with notifications yet, but we’re working on it! In the meantime, we suggest you check back on your page frequently to see if anyone has left a message.

Oops, I have an error in the message I left when making my donation. Can I correct this?

Yes! Please email info@takeabreakfromcancer.org and we’ll make the correction for you.

I don’t see my footprint/lighthouse listing yet, when will it appear?

New messages and pages are approved and posted within 48 business hours of receipt. If you made a donation over the weekend, there will be a delay in processing. If you think there is an error, please email info@takeabreakfromcancer.org.
