More Moments More Memories Foundation Fund

Inspired by both their late mother, Karen, and sister, Sherry, who experienced the significant hardships of cancer, sisters Christi and Shelley Shaw established More Moments More Memories Foundation in 2017 through the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque. Christi and Shelley deeply understand, personally and professionally, the ongoing needs of cancer patients and the sad reality that those with financial means are better able to access quality solutions.

The More Moments More Memories Foundation removes financial obstacles and clears a path for patients with cancer to seek critical treatments needed to improve the quality and quantity of their lives, which could provide more precious moments with their loved ones to create lasting memories. For them, your gift means hope, it means less stress, and it can mean more time.

Even without the added stress of a pandemic, travel to clinical trials is often an immense physical, emotional, and financial burden for people with cancer and their caregivers. We hear many stories of impossibly difficult decisions: to pay for travel to receive potentially life-saving treatment or to pay for groceries or rent. No one should have to choose between life or overwhelming financial hardship.

Your generosity is so very appreciated during these difficult times, especially for patients. Importantly, 100% of your donation will go directly to patients in need.
