2011
Many thanks to all of these wonderful donors and sponsors:
- Valley Anesthesiology Foundation - $5,000 Grant for One-on-One Counseling

 KONG Company has generously given the MISS Foundation a donation of $7,500.00 this 2011 season! We want to encourage our MISS members to support KONG, and we specifically want to acknowledge KONG President, KD Frueh, for her generous support and compassion for MISS bereaved families. Thank you!
The MISS Foundation wishes to sincerely thank Jeff and Kristina Ortman, mommy and daddy to Parker Ortman, born still at term on October 24, 2009. Jeff and Kristina founded the Parker Ortman Memorial Fund - in honor of precious Parker.
On October 9, 2011 they hosted the 2nd Annual Parker Ortman Memorial Golf Tournament, complete with "beef and beer" - and raised $9,000 for the MISS Foundation.
Sadly, we cannot save every child, but with these funds we can make a difference, and save their families.....
In Sincere Love and Gratitude,
For all of the children gone too soon....The MISS Foundation

Our deepest gratitude to Jeff & Lori Tieger, Daniel's STAR, for their generous support of our organization and our families this 2010 season. We received a wonderfully helpful $14,000.00 donation from the Tieger's in memory of their beloved son, Daniel, at an absolutely magical and much-needed time. Thank you so much, Jeff, Lori, and mostly, beautiful boy Daniel.

So many thanks go out to Jeff & Kristina Ortman of the Parker Anthony Ortman Foundation for your most generous 2010 giving of a $15,000.00 donation to the MISS Foundation! Your support means so much to all of us as we continue to offer outreach to as many bereaved families as we possibly can. Without donors like you, we could not do the work we do. Thank you so much!
