Give with love

A little relief can make
a world of difference.

Help us raise money for a diesel Sprinter van for Margo and her family through Giving Fest. Our goal is more mobility for the Olschners, with a safe place for Margo to spend time and enjoy her favorite music.

A van for Margo and the music she loves.

Margo’s favorite playlist plays on repeat, in the room or from the boombox in her little backpack. We’re raising money for a diesel Sprinter van to help her family get around while keeping her comfort and care at the center. Give through the Giving Fest campaign below; you can choose a donation without purchasing an event ticket.

Your generosity becomes practical care.

Gifts support the foundation’s work with a selected child and family. Depending on current needs, that can include financial relief, accessibility, equipment, transportation, care coordination, and advocacy.

Have a question about your gift, a memorial donation, or a contribution of goods or services? Julie would love to hear from you. Please contact us before arranging an in-kind delivery.

Our first sponsored family

Meet Margo.
Her world has a soundtrack.

A favorite playlist on repeat. A little backpack carrying a boombox. A smile that makes you smile, too. Margo loves her music—and we’re raising money for a diesel Sprinter van to help her family get around with a place for Margo to settle in and enjoy it.

A few things you may be wondering

Good questions. Clear answers.

How do I donate?

Our current Givebutter campaign accepts donations and offers event tickets. Follow the Givebutter button to view the available options and complete your contribution securely.

Can my business become a sponsor?

Yes. We welcome financial, event, and in-kind sponsorship conversations with businesses across the country. Contact Julie to discuss current needs and recognition.

Why fundraise for Margo when there is another van?

The accessible van we have in California does not fit the Olschners’ situation. We hope to give it to another child and family in need. Giving Fest remains the campaign for Margo’s diesel Sprinter van fundraiser; the California van opportunity is a separate conversation with Julie.

Where does my donation go?

Our current fundraising priority is a diesel Sprinter van for Margo and her family, and we are using the Giving Fest Givebutter campaign. Contact Julie with questions about directing a particular gift or how contributions are used.

Who can help with a receipt or donation question?
