BOSTON, MA — February 15, 2011 — Tributes, Inc., the online resource for local and national obituary news, announced today that it has formed a collaboration with American Cancer Society, The Official Sponsor of Birthdays™, to help streamline the ability for family and friends to make donations to this important non-profit when a loved one has passed away as the result of a cancer-related illness.
Tributes Funeral Home partners, at the direction of the families that place their loved ones in their care, now have the ability to easily integrate direct calls-to-action and links to American Cancer Society donation forms directly into the obituaries and Eternal Tributes they upload to the Tributes.com database and distribute across the Tributes Network of television media partners.
