Matchbox Days include a big box of games, activities, snacks, and crafts delivered to each family's door, three opportunities to gather on Zoom (crafts, family games, and a parent and caregiver connection time), and a family dinner via DoorDash voucher. In 2024 we hosted 11 Matchbox Days, delivering a total of 917 boxes, and serving over 200 families across 5 states. The objective of our Matchbox Days is to provide a regular opportunity for families to turn toward one another in their homes and make happy memories together, and also connect with other families who are experiencing childhood cancer. We also hosted three in-person gatherings for families, which included a picnic lunch, family relay games, a carnival, and a special parent gathering. At these gatherings, we served 212 participants and welcomed 157 volunteers. Finally, we hosted two fundraiser events: a springtime Bingo event at a local brewery, and a formal dinner gala in November. We surpassed our fundraising goals at both events. 0 0 0 181555 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 X Rising Sun Accounting Stacy Harman 2069395442 PO Box 25726 Seattle WA 98165 JJ Kissinger Executive Director 40 0 X 83221 0 16384 Julie Metzger President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Gretchen VonHeeder-Phillips Vice President and Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Uddhav Gupta Treasurer 2.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Chelsey Geraghty Director 2.00 0 X 0 0 0 Kelly Hampton Director 2.00 0 X 0 0 0 Tom Monahan Director 2.00 0 X 0 0 0 Brian Harrington Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jessica Muller Director 2.00 0 X 0 0 0 83221 0 16384 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 92081 0 0 200234 2081 292315 0 172 0 0 172 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2082 0 2081 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 50599 92081 32616 17983 0 17983 0 310471 0 0 18156 99605 64743 14941 19921 13245 11258 1987 9097 6163 1177 1757 5549 5549 15012 14705 307 18752 7500 5626 5626 1686 1686 Program Expenses 76586 77186 -600 239532 181555 28379 29598 197140 268507 0 0 0 197140 268507 0 428 0 428 X 194512 268079 2628 0 197140 268079 197140 268507 70939 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 4356 226033 145443 324267 292315 992414 4356 226033 145443 324267 292315 992414 34358 958056 42 83 1265 172 1562 993976 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED TLC Annual Fundraiser 129754 84016 45738 0 0 2740 13177 0 11317 Springo Fundraiser 12925 8064 4861 0 0 0 1401 0 3981 0 142679 92080 50599 0 0 2740 14578 0 15298 32616 17983 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.
