I am writing in support of Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. Eleven years ago the Foundation sent my sister, her husband and their two kids to Disney World. My sister Trudi had been diagnosed with stage four metastatic breast cancer. The trip to Disney gave her family a brief few days to set aside the devastating diagnosis, have fun, and make memories that the kids still talk about today. Sadly she passed away within months of their trip, but her kids, now 18 and 21, cherish that time and those memories. Thank you for all you do!

Heads-up,
This organization does not look good. If you want to know anything about any given non-profit check their form 990 which is required reporting. You can find it at Guidestar.com. and type in (making memories) in the search bar and it will be the first one listed in Lake Oswego. Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation and Brides Against Breast Cancer are the same organization. It can tell you how much of a non-profits income goes to their stated purpose. This organization has a very credible purpose but probably uses less than 10 per cent and maybe as little as 5 per cent of its income to do its potential good work. This should put them on the Oregon department of justice's list of worst non-profits. Call the Oregon dept. of justice and ask them about Making Memories and Brides against Breast Cancer. If you donate to them or buy from them then you will be enabling them to continue their poor record. Ask them some hard questions before helping them. Make them become a decent organization by putting pressure on them.
