The Kyla McCullough Gift Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to assisting local children that are living with cancer and bringing new awareness to the community about how to help others dealing with cancer in their times of need. We are very proud to say that during our first few years of operation, the Kyla McCullough Gift Fund has raised over $57,000 that has since been granted to sponsor 5 wishes at the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon® and to support Doernbecher Children's Hospital in their Brain Tumor Research Program, Pediatric Emergency Department Renovation, and their Bead Program specifically for local kids living with cancer.

This segment aired on KATU (2) on April 1st, 2011 and does a great job describing what our organization is all about.
How Can You Help?
A. Attend our fundraising events
Just show up and have a great time. It's that simple! We are currently preparing for our 4th annual Kyla McCullough Gift Fund Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction. Visit our Events page for more details.
B. Donate an item for our fundraising events
When you donate an item to be auctioned off at one of the Kyla McCullough Gift Fund fundraisers, you are not only contributing to a great cause that helps children and families in need, but you are also allowed to claim your cost for that item as a tax deduction. If you have any other ideas for auction items, please feel free to contact us via email at donations@kmgf.org.

E. Tell others about what the Kyla McCullough Gift Fund is doing
One of the many challenges for an organization like ours is finding opportunities to let people know who we are and what we do. We believe that the very best way to bring people to our organization is by word of mouth...that people who have been touched by our organization would pass that on to their friends, creating a ripple effect. We rely on people just like you to let others know about our organization. As our organization has grown, we have seen our circle of friends grow. And we would love for you to introduce your circle of friends to our organization. A few examples of how to help in this area would be...talking to your friends about our organization, becoming a K.I.D. by bringing in 8 new people to our fundraising dinner and auction, or even posting a message on your Facebook account telling all your Facebook friends to check us out.
