A star can be named for just about anyone or any group, and some constellations have been designed with a particular group in mind. The following are suggestions of whom a star could be named, but it is by no means exhaustive of all possibilities!

  • Loved ones who are affected by essential tremor;
  • Family and friends who have served or are serving in the armed forces;
  • A person who has died, such as a parent or grandparent, for whom you wish to create a memorial;
  • A child who holds a special place in your heart;
  • A teacher who has inspired your life.
  • A pet (cat or dog) that you love.

When you choose a star you are also choosing a package. Packages provide varying amounts of space for text, and photographs. The amount of space increases with the size of the corresponding donation.

How to name a star:

  • First choose constellation by clicking on it at the top of this page, and locate a star that is available to be named.
  • Click on this star, and a donation form will open.
  • Enter the information about the star, and upload a JPEG picture if included in your star package. If you don’t have a JPEG or don’t know what a JPEG is, please mail us a copy of your photograph. Once you click on the star, the donation page will remember which star is yours.
  • Enter your payment information.
  • Click the submit button.
  • If you choose, you can print the order form and submit by mail.

Guidelines:

  • There will be a minimum of 7 to 10 business days between the time you name a star and make a donation until it is viewable on the website. This gives the IETF time to review and process all submissions.
  • The IETF reserves the right to decline a submission that is considered, by the IETF, to be inappropriate.
  • Specific star locations cannot be guaranteed. The IETF reserves the right to assign an available star of the chosen package level from within the chosen constellation.
  • One star can be named for one and two persons, (i.e. John Smith or John and Jane Smith) or can be named for a group (i.e. Kansas Troop 24).

For more information on naming a star on The Hero Constellations of the IETF website, contact staff@essentialtremor.org or call toll-free 1-888-387-3667. Your donation is tax-deductible to the degree allowed by law.
