Gifts (Donations & Registries)

Truly, your presence at our wedding is the best gift you could give us.

If you insist on giving us something, we would be thrilled and honored if you made a donation to one of the charities we have selected below. Because we live in a small apartment and are not sure where we'll be living for the next couple years, we ask that people not buy us traditional wedding gifts. Really. We've set up a charitable registry in lieu of a traditional gift registry as we want to spread a little bit of the joy and love we'll experience on our wedding day.

Heifer International. We've been long-time supporters of this organization working to end world hunger. Heifer gives animals to impoverished people and communities to raise for food and fiber, thereby promoting self-sufficiency and sustainability. Choose among gifts of bees, rabbits, ducks, llamas, goats and more! Our Online Wedding Registry on Heifer.

Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. This organization funds research to improve the understanding, treatment and prevention of pancreatic cancer, works to increase public awareness of the deadly disease, and provides support and advocacy for patients and families. We wish Poppie (Holly's grandfather) was still with us to celebrate our big day, and hope we can help other families struggling with pancreatic cancer have a bright future. Our Online Wedding Registry for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. You can also donate by phone or mail (see instructions here). Be sure to mention Fergus-Menninger wedding.

Alzheimer's Association. Through family members, friends, and volunteer work, we've been personally touched by Alzheimer's disease. We'd like to help support the work of the Alzheimer's Association to further advance research, provide and enhance care and support for all affected, and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our Online Wedding Fund for the Alzheimer's Association.

We've set up all these registries to notify us of your gift via email so please use the special links we provided above. Thank you for honoring our special day with your generous donations!
