The Mickaela Foundation surpassed the 100 treatment fund goal set for 2007, unfortunately that also has all but depleted our funds. We have seen some lean times, but we will do what we have to do to make sure we can help all who need us! We are averaging 10 -15 applications per month so far for 2008, so we are on a serious mission!

We are planning TWO Raffles this year after the incredibly successful one last Summer. "Bob" Helped us raise over $40,000 toward our treatment funds and really allowed us to break the 100 goal we had set for ourselves!

"One night you'll never forget". The Yellow Team supports The American Cancer Society. The Relay for Life celebrates survivors, and the lives of those we have lost.
