"Last year it was attended by over 500 people and the support from the local towns for our gift auction has been phenomenal," said Scott Brady of the foundation. " Since we started the foundation four years ago, we have raised over $250,000.
"The families have put the money towards various uses (i.e. vacations just to get away, medical devices not covered by insurance, etc.)," Brady wrote in an email. "The letters we receive from these families are heartwrenching."
