Foundation Updates

Thanks to you all, The Etheridge Foundation raised more than $150,000 through our fundraising efforts in 2020 and 2021!

Melissa, along with her wife Linda, are incredibly touched by the Etheridge Nation’s outpouring of compassion and action for change.

Special gratitude goes to Tracy Albright and the superfans who started the original gofundme Beckett Memorial Fund in 2020. The flood of support quickly surpassed their initial goal of creating the beautiful memorial bench, setting their sights even further to start the foundation. It is because of you that the organization exists.

Big thanks also to Libby’s Legacy Breast Cancer Foundation, who partnered with us on last year’s cruise fundraisers.

We’re excited to share that the Etheridge Foundation has achieved registered 501(c)3 nonprofit status, meaning that donations are tax-deductible and we have the ability to accept matching donations.

This coming year will be devoted to developing our research program and partnerships, as well as continuing our fundraising efforts to support this crucial work. Together, we will keep this momentum building.
