WHY FORM A FOUNDATION?
The GoMitchGo Foundation allows us to expand our fundraising capabilities outside of those available with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. We will always work closely with LLS in order to help find a cure for this terrible disease. Our main goals are to use all donations to provide:
(1) funding for blood cancer research;
(2) support for the children and families battling this disease;
(3) assistance to families in crisis.
In 2009, Tracy convinced nearly 50 friends to join her in Phoenix for her 40th birthday present. Mitchell’s Angels were born from this event and these ladies raised $240,000 dollars for LLS – Oklahoma in Mitchell’s honor. We had so much fun with taking a large group to a Team in Training event that we came up with a way to make it more feasible to do again! The GoMitchGo Foundation allows you to relieve some of the stress of fundraising since we aren’t tied to a specific LLS season. You can raise funds for any event you choose……a few months or 2 years in the future……and we provide the “parking lot”.
How does this benefit you as a Team in Training participant?
If you want a longer time frame to raise funds for your specific event, the GoMitchGo foundation makes perfect sense for you…..especially if you are running in Mitchell’s honor! We write a check to Team in Training on your behalf based on the funds you have raised when you are ready for your event.
Our promise to you:
We will provide an annual statement showing all expenditures and collections on this website. 2009 is on the way from the CPA. Check back often!
