Other Ways to Give…

Employer Match

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. Check with your company’s Human Resources office to see if they offer gift matching. (If they don’t, you may want to ask your company to start one.) If your employer does offer this program, your Human Resources department should provide you with a matching gift form to send to thesnowfoundation.org along with your donation.

Corporate Giving

If you are an officer of a corporation, own a family business, or represent a private foundation, there are many options for you to consider for your charitable giving. If you’re interested in partnering with thesnowfoundaiton.org by providing support through a corporate or foundation grant, please contact Stephanie at 636-448-4134 or stephanie@thesnowfoundation.org. If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor for some of our events, please email stephanie@thesnowfoundation.org.

A Gift Through Your Donor-Advised Fund

Please consider establishing a donor-advised charitable fund (Fidelity Charitable^®, Vanguard Charitable^®, Schwab Charitable^® or other) to support The Snow Foundation through an annual gift and a legacy gift. You can direct that your donor-advised charitable fund be distributed, in full, to The Snow Foundation after your lifetime. Or, you can name specific charities and choose a dollar or percentage amount to be distributed over a certain time, or until the account balance becomes zero.

Art For Wolfram Syndrome

Most people with Wolfram Syndrome are diagnosed as children. My husband, Don, was more fortunate than most. Don and I married in our 20s and had two beautiful daughters. Although Don’s diagnosis of diabetes and the onset of colorblindness in his 30s seemed odd, we had no idea that those two were related. We raised our girls and had a wonderful life together. Then in our 50s, my husband’s disease caught up with him. The impacted parts of his body began to cease being able to cope, but the reason was difficult to diagnose. It was eight years later that a genetic test led to the diagnosis of Wolfram Syndrome.

The picture shows me with my wonderful husband Don celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2008. By our 40th anniversary, he was limited in a lot of ways, but he could still interact, and enjoy being with family and friends. I took care of him from 2001 until his death, at home, in 2016. We had a wonderful life together, and we did as many things as we possibly could for as long as we could.

Now I want to do whatever I can to help the Snow Foundation find a treatment for this horrible disease. Although there are plenty of things I can’t do, as an artist, I can create and sell art to raise money for research and clinical trials. I have three friends and two daughters joining me on andiwarner.com to make a difference. We are “Artists Raising Money for Wolfram Syndrome Research” and spreading awareness of this disease.
