BECOME A GRAND CHAIN GIVER

💛 Become a Grand Chain Giver: Just $10/month Makes a Big Difference!

Hey Family! 👋🏾

Want to make a real impact with just $10 a month? Join the Grand Chain Givers and support the heartbeat of our family: from unforgettable reunions to the sacred grounds of Rainney Cemetery, and everything in between.

Why Give Monthly?

Keep the Reunion Tradition Alive
Our family reunions are epic — but they’re also expensive! Your monthly support helps cover the cost so everyone can join the celebration, regardless of their financial situation.

Honor Our Ancestors
Rainney Cemetery holds generations of our family history. Your giving helps maintain and preserve these resting places with dignity and care.

Reconnect & Discover
We’re finding new cousins and preserving our powerful legacy. Your donations fund our efforts to research, document, and share our family’s rich history.

Support What Matters
Your monthly gift fuels both internal family joy (like the reunions) and external outreach — helping us support causes and initiatives that directly impact our extended family’s well-being.

❤️ A Little Each Month, A Lot Together

If every family member gave just $10/month, imagine what we could do — together! 🎉 Your contribution ensures that our family stays connected, remembered, and supported for generations to come.

So go ahead — set it, forget it, and feel GREAT knowing you’re helping the Grand Chain Family Foundation thrive.
