When my nephew was going through cancer treatment 3 years ago the Anna Schindler foundation in Spokane helped my brother and his wife a lot. They were young college students trying to keep things together while their first child was diagnosed with terminal cancer at just 4 months old. He passed away after 5 months of chemo, radiation, and surgery. My brother and his wife have stayed closely connected to this foundation and it would mean a lot to them, and to me if CougarBoard could help them win this vote for a donation from one of the dealerships in the Spokane area.
If it makes a difference my brother did attend BYU for 3 semesters after his mission before he felt strongly that he needed to go back to Spokane where our family and his wife's family are. It was only after that that they had their first child and then lost him to cancer.
Here is what they say on the site about the Anna Schindler foundation:
When a child is diagnosed, the family is diagnosed. The mission of the Anna Schindler Foundation is to support families fighting childhood cancer in the Inland Northwest and raise awareness of this disease. We assist every family that has a child diagnosed in the area. Each family receives meal cards while an in-patient at the hospital. We endeavor to defray travel, grocery, medical, living and even burial expenses that are incurred because of a sick child. Our goal is to lighten the load for every childhood cancer family.

It's not the best website, but go down to the section that says "Help us decide. Who is your favorite?"
Vote for the Anna Schindler Foundation and with the power of CB we could win this for them pretty easily.
