What you are writing on the card is fine.

I agree with the above, follow the "in lieu of" directions, but a separate donation to the Foundation would also be a great, personal touch. The group can send another note following that donation to let your sister know about the donation in her husband's name, if the Foundation doesn't already send something recognizing it (check with your Foundation first).
And the only change I'd suggest to what you plan to write on the card is starting with "We", if you're sending it on behalf of the club.
