Susan B Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Portland

Tijuana AIDS Project, Mexico
We were part of a collaborative effort in the Pacific Northwest last year to raise money for the Tijuana AIDS Project, which at that time had no running water in their hospice facilities. In all, enough was raised to help with the cost of running a water main to the hospice and to help with other much needed services.

PWA Foundation, Salt Lake City
Among many other services, the PWA Foundation in Salt Lake City provides meals to Persons living with AIDS in Salt Lake City.

SPOT helps low income families in the area afford to keep their pets by providing vouchers to have their pets spayed and neutered. In addition, SPOT also sponsors several Feral Cat Clinics each year to spay and neuter the feral cat population in Lane County, helping keep the need for euthanasia down.
