Kathleen B. Herne, MD, FAAD
Tribute Donor


“My husband Rhett Fisher and I have been incredibly blessed and wished to extend those blessings to others. When we got married, we asked our family and friends to give to one of our preferred charities in lieu of gifts. It was a natural extension of my profession to choose Camp Discovery as a way for our wedding guests to honor our nuptials. I have a nephew with a blistering disorder called Epidermolysis Bullosa, and we are thrilled there is an outlet for him to bond with other children with skin disorders at Camp Discovery.”


Tribute Program


Tribute donations commemorate special occasions, career milestones, achievements, and a host of other life celebrations. They can provide recognition of a job well done, show gratitude or support, or offer condolences on the passing of a loved one. When you make a Tribute donation, the Academy sends a letter to the individual or family to notify them of your thoughtfulness. You may designate your Tribute donation in support of several board-approved programs.

Consider Tribute donations for these and other occasions:

  • Birthdays
  • Bar mitzvahs/bat mitzvahs
  • Weddings/anniversaries
  • Holidays
  • Graduation
  • Completing Residency or Graduate Fellowship
  • Passing the ABD exam
  • Starting a new job or a new practice
  • As a thank you for referrals
  • Special accomplishments or awards
  • Promotions
  • Retirement
  • Memorials
  • Thinking of you
  • Donations made in your name (third party gifts)
