Thank you!
Thank you to all who participated in the 2nd Annual Climb for a Cause at the Arizona Climbing Center. We raised money to send bereaved children to Camp Paz and to provide books and resources to the families who are in need after the death of a child.
Special thanks to Glen Dickinson, Owner of ACC for his commitment and generosity to the MISS Foundation!
A special thank you to the Brashears family in memory of Sadie Diane. They raised $711.00 in a yard sale to help the MISS Foundation. Some of the money will go to beginning a library of books for families in grief. If you donated to the sale, we thank you!
Special Thanks to our other donors:
