Thank you for your interest in donating to breast cancer research in
memory of Tanya.
This page has two main sections. First, there is a list of three places to donate to in
honor of Tanya. As you scroll below, you will find information about each organization
and a link to their donation page. Please follow the instructions for donating to each
organization so that I will be notified about your donation. I would like to be
able to thank you.
I have designed the website this way so that you can make direct donations to the organizations,
which will allow you, if you would like, to write off the donation on your taxes.
Second, I am hoping to keep a running tally of all the money that is raised in Tanya's honor
here on this page.
After donating to whichever organization(s), please then fill in the form at the bottom of this
page so we can keep track of the total donations and report them immediately on this site.
Please come back to this page to see how much we have raised in Tanya's name.
To directly support organizations that Tanya supported
during her battle, please donate to either of the following organizations:
The mission of this organization is to achieve prevention and a cure for
breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative
clinical and translational research at leading medical centers worldwide,
and increasing public awareness about good breast health. Tanya cared a
great deal about breast cancer research, which is the primary focus of
BCRF.
In order for me to know that you have donated (which we would really like to know),
you must select yes under "I am making this donation as a tribute.".
Then put Tanya's name in appropriate boxes (her full name was Tanya Pumillo) and
Aaron's name and address in the appropriate space.
The address is:

This organization is dedicated to the critical issues unique to young women and breast
cancer. YSC works with survivors, caregivers and the medical, research, advocacy and
legislative communities to increase the quality and quantity of life for women
diagnosed with breast cancer ages 40 and under. This group, which has an Atlanta
affiliate, provided Tanya, with a large amount of support the last few years of
her life.
In order for me to know that you have donated (which we would really like to know),

To make a donation in support of our marathon team "For Tanya", please
donate to the following:
Funds raised from the 26.2 with Donna The National Marathon to Finish Breast Cancer will go to breast
cancer research at Mayo Clinic and to funding the critical needs of underserved women with breast
cancer through The Donna Foundation.
While a portion of the proceeds will be used by The Donna Foundation for the care of these survivors
in need, the Foundation has pledged to donate the majority of funds raised to Mayo Clinic for
laboratory research and clinical trials to help eradicate breast cancer.
