The Event's Purpose
Inspiring hope and providing opportunities for those living with spinal cord injuries--that's the mission of A Cure is Coming.
Since last November, we've donated $60,000 from the Foundation: $10,000 to the
Kennedy Krieger Institute,
a world-renowned facility dedicated to improving the lives of children and
adolescents with spinal cord and brain disorders; and $50,000 to
Next-Steps NW
to help fund rehabilitation costs for those suddenly disabled who are w
ithout the means to do so themselves.
In order to accomplish these charitable deeds, the Foundation is required to use fundraising
events to create money for donations. Our primary fundraiser is our annual Golf Tournament & Auction
Event. This year's tournament will be held at the
Glendale Country Club in Bellevue.
At this time, The Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation is seeking sponsors, players, and attendees for
our exclusive dinner and auction event. A Cure Is Coming, The Michael-Ryan Pattison
Foundation, is a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation (Tax ID# 20-5487064); all donations are tax deductible.
