If anyone wishes to make a donation it may be made to the Tempe Symphony Orchestra. I know my dad enjoyed playing the shows that came to town and just as importantly they challenged him musically, which he enjoyed even more. Since the Tempe Symphony is a volunteer organization the following steps should be followed for any donations made:

1) Memorials may be made out to “Friends of Tempe Center for the Arts”

2) A note should be included specifying that the donation should go to the “Tempe Symphony”

3) Mail to: Friends of Tempe Center for the Arts; 700 West Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe AZ 85281
