A good gift/favor to give out at a Memorial Concert Fundraiser?

We're having a memorial concert for my fiance who passed away last year. It is going to be a pretty high-end fund-raiser with Dana Farber as an official sponsor. What would be a nice, small gift to give to everyone who attends? I want something that looks nice, and is appropriate given the occasion. Any ideas?

A good gift/favor to give out at a Memorial Concert Fundraiser?
My condolences:) .... If he passed away from an illness that has fundraising items (i.e. breast cancer has lots of "pink ribbon" items) you could give those ..... Or have coffee cups, datebooks, note pads, small calculators, or pens made, personalized with his name, years of birth %26amp; death, and whatever else you want. There are companies who do things like this in volume.....
Reply:I am very, very sorry for your loss.





Could you have a picture made up of your fiance with a poem or a speech or something meaningful to you printed up on the back and then either laminated or framed. Nothing huge, but something small, like the size of a credit card, but in a small frame.





Could you have a ribbon or something made up in pin form that people could wear and then attatch it to a card with a poem or saying, with your fiance's name and dates on it?





Was there something that your fiance was into, like a hobby, or something that you do that is not too expensive that you can have made up to hand out as a thank you? This way you can tell people that this is something he loved and you want to share it with them maybe a favorite candy, gift card to his favorite coffee shop, something like that?





This is all I can think of. I am really sorry for your loss, I lost my first love and it's so hard. I hope the concert goes well and that some of these ideas help.
