Special thanks to Jimmy apRoberts for all his time and effort in generously creating and donating this wonderful new website.

We know David is proud of how far we have come since our inception less then one year ago.  We are looking forward to hosting our second Foundation fundraiser, a Golf Classic and Dinner to be held on Friday, September 24rd at the Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco.  Thank you to all those who have held, or are planning to have, their own fundraiser to benefit the Foundation.  Through the generosity of all of you who have been touched by Pooh in some way, we have raised over $165,000 to date to help in the fight against cancer!

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Most sincerely,
Jack, Anna, Jack III, Mary Bridget, Erin, Byran, Kathleen, Ryan, Grace, and Tessa
and the Board of Directors of the David Andrew “Pooh” Maddan Foundation

Over $19,000 has already been raised to help in the fight against cancer. We are anticipating that we will receive our tax-exempt status, which will be retroactive to 2008, in a few months. Please contact the Foundation’s treasurer, Matt Wheeler CPA, at matt at poohstrong.com for further information.

We are pleased to announce we are finalizing the design of the official logo for the Foundation which is being created and donated by James apRoberts, a San Luis Obispo based graphic designer. We will then be able to produce letterhead for stationary and other printed materials including a brochure describing the Foundation and its mission.

In the coming months, information will be posted on this website about various fundraisers being sponsored by friends of the Foundation who are enthusiastically helping keep Pooh’s dream alive. If you have an idea for a fundraiser, or are looking for a way to contribute to the Foundation, please contact Kathleen Maddan Blackmore, at akmaddan at yahoo.com

Again, with your help, the David Andrew “Pooh” Maddan foundation will make a difference in the fight against cancer. Have a great new year!

The David Andrew “Pooh” Maddan Foundation has now officially been established. We are all extremely excited that the first steps towards establishing an organization to help young adults in their fight against cancer has now been realized. The foundation is now officially accepting donations to help make David’s dream a reality. Donations may be sent to:

The David Andrew “Pooh” Maddan Foundation
PO Box 475577
San Francisco, CA 94147

The foundation is now in the process of applying for tax-exempt status as an official 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Unfortunately, this process can take anywhere from six to nine months to complete. The good news is that receipt of tax-exempt status by the IRS is retroactive to the date of application. In English, this means the David Andrew “Pooh” Maddan Foundation will be an official tax-exempt charity as of 2008 and any donations given before the end of the year will be tax-deductible in 2008. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the foundation’s treasurer Matt Wheeler CPA at matt@poohstrong.com.

Thank you to EVERYONE for your generosity over the past few months. This foundation is something that David had wanted to establish and we all feel honored that so many people out there are helping to make David’s dream a reality. Stay tuned to the website for more information regarding the foundation as well as a future mailing list regarding foundation news and events. Happy Holidays to all and a Happy New Year as well!
