A Cure is Coming…
Welcome to the new online home of The Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation, A Cure Is Coming.
Thank you for stopping by. The Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation was established in 2006 so
others with spinal cord injuries can access the best possible care for their disability. On
this website, you'll find all the key information on the Foundation that is the outward
manifestation of our work. We hope you find it informative and useful.
Our Mission
The important mission of the Foundation is to build a level of awareness of, and
philanthropic support, for those with spinal cord injuries that enable access to a range
of specialized therapies focused on improving overall quality of life. A Cure is Coming
offers more ways to get informed and take action for this important cause and will evolve
and grow a great deal over the next few weeks so please be patient as we continue to add new
information and features. Browse around and let us know what you think. We will be
delighted to receive your comments about the site, about the information provided here
and about resources that you feel we should be providing but are not.
How You Can Help
As a non-profit organization we rely on volunteers, fundraising activities and
tax-deductible donations to continue our mission and programs. The Foundation has
held several fundraising events including auctions and golf tournaments organized with
the help of family and caring friends including the Seattle Seahawks. In the last year,
these Foundation funds have been used to purchase specialized equipment as well as fund
individualized exercise therapy here in the Seattle area for others in need.
Our 2007 Golf Tournament, Dinner and Auction fundraising event was a resounding success.
We want to thank all the players, bidders and volunteers for making it such a great event.
You can also make a general contribution to the foundation through this website.
If you'd like to make a donation online, our Donate Now button at
the top of this page is a new option to you that is both private and safe.
Stay Tuned
As our web site is a work in progress we encourage you to check back frequently to see
what we've added. We appreciate your patience as we continue to build and expand The
Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation website.
