A MESSAGE FROM DAVID CRANDALL
The Donna M. Crandall Memorial Foundation was started by Donna’s extended family
and a small number of friends in 1999. We wanted to do something to help people who
lived with Cystic Fibrosis and honor Donna’s memory. She never wanted the disease to define
her life and it remains only a footnote as we remember her. It was our hope that by working
with patients to lessen the pressures of the disease they too could focus on being as
healthy as possible and enjoy their time with family and friends.
Our very first project, the now famous gift bags, fit that early mission and was an impetus
for many other projects. We learned early on that to make a difference for all of the patients
and their families we would need help and so we began our Emerald Eves. Through the
extraordinary support of all of the people that have attended over the years
we were able to achieve what we initially set out to do.
And then an amazing thing happened; the foundation became bigger in so many ways.
Our friends began to help us with all of our projects, including shopping for items for the bags,
baking cookies and making quilts. Our new friends were able to honor their loved ones by
celebrating their lives. The Donna M. Crandall Foundation is no longer just about remembering
one person but has now become an organization of Donna’s extended family and a very large
number of friends that are committed to making the lives of people brighter and honoring
all of those individuals we have come to know and love.
We are grateful for your support and we thank you for joining us on this journey.

WELCOME TO THE
13TH ANNUAL EMERALD EVE!
As the Donna M. Crandall Memorial Foundation celebrates its 13th anniversary, we are thrilled
to report that together we have raised more than $1.75 million to help our friends, family and
neighbors affected by CF. Every penny stays right here at home and keeps alive our promise to
Donna that she will never be forgotten.
It has been a privilege and joy to do what we can, when we can, in Donna’s name. We are
inspired by the many thank-you letters, cards and emails we receive, and wanted to share a
sample with you:
"Thank you so much for the financial support you have given us. My husband is slowly recovering
from a double lung transplant in Pittsburgh. I have had to fly there and stay for over a month so
far. This was truly an emergency situation and your support has helped greatly.”
“My family will be forever grateful for the smile on my son’s face during a drawn out hospital stay.
To not worry about having to move my car each and every day to avoid being towed, and for the
bite to eat in the hospital cafeteria that is so desperately needed for the energy required to sit beside
my son for countless hours…thank you.”
“Unfortunately, when you have CF, being admitted to the hospital once a year or more becomes the
‘norm’ and after a while your family and friends get used to it and the flowers, gifts and visits
dwindle …having CF is never easy, but having the Crandall Foundation fighting for people like me
to live a better life and breathe easier makes life a little brighter.”
“…to a child with a chronic disease, The Donna Crandall Foundation helps to take the rigor out of
the routine of doctor appointments and hospital stays. They provide encouragement and
anticipation for the future and have helped our granddaughter understand the importance of
compassion and giving to others.”
“Receiving gift bags is not only a great way to get your mind off things for a bit, but a wonderful
reminder that someone is thinking of you and knows exactly what you are going through. You are
making life a little easier (and more fun) with each gift bag you create.”
“…All I can say is that Donna would be very proud of all your accomplishments and what you have
done for the whole CF community.”
The past 13 years have been more than we could have imagined, and the people we have come
to know along the way have forever changed our lives.

DONNA M. CRANDALL
MEMORIAL FOUNDATION PROGRAMS
WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH, IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO HELP
Thirteen years later, the Donna M. Crandall Memorial Foundation remains a family-run,
volunteer-based, non-profit charity with no overhead. We are committed to alleviating the
burdens associated with cystic fibrosis and to making life better for patients and their families.
To that end, we have never had to say “no” to a patient in need.
Examples of 2013 Foundation activities include:
• Distributing its 1,300th gift bag. The lucky recipient was surprised to find a certificate
redeemable for $1,300 tucked into her special L.L. Bean tote, which also contained Bose
headphones, Smart Phone speakers, gift cards to Price Chopper, Starbuck’s and Domino’s
Pizza, Downton Abbey DVDs, a journal, magazines, UNO cards, snacks, toiletries and more.
• Creating special hand-sewn baby quilts and assembling baby gift bags. In 2013, seven
babies were diagnosed with CF at Albany Medical Center. Recognizing the emotional toll the
diagnosis can have on new parents, DMCF volunteers reached out. Gift bags included $100
Target gift cards and, since every baby needs a Teddy Bear, commemorative Burke P. Bears.
• Providing a Summer Giveaway for patients. A “scratch-off” garden was coordinated by
volunteer Michelle Breton-Jackson in homage to her little sister Mary Breton, who had CF
and died in 2004. An Irish-themed garden of clovers and flowers bloomed with customized
game cards revealing cash prizes of $20, $50, $100 or a chance for one of three grand prizes
of $1,000.
• Catering Christmas and other special dinners for CF patients who are hospitalized on
holidays, anniversaries or birthdays. Volunteers decorate the E5 lounge and set the table to
help create a more festive atmosphere.
• Renovating Albany Med’s E5 patient lounge - again. Making the lounge a comfortable place
for patients to visit with their families and friends was one of our first projects. The new
lounge will have a sleeker look with a flat screen TV, upgraded computer and desk, a
high-top table and stools for dining, and a microwave oven. Artwork highlighting some of
Donna’s favorite things and letters from patients will adorn the walls.
• Allocating $50,000 to assist patients facing extreme financial hardship and the financial
liabilities associated with lung transplant. Transplant evaluation includes an intense,
time-consuming and expensive period of evaluation at transplant centers in New York City,
Boston and other metropolitan areas.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
MAKES PROGRAMS POSSIBLE
None of what the Foundation accomplishes would be possible without support. We are thankful
to local community groups, schools, families and individuals who, year after year, share their
time, talent and treasure to help The Foundation fulfill its mission.
This year we are especially thankful to:
• Cassie Stricos, owner of Shocker Tattoo in Albany, who raised $7,000 via several raffles
in memory of Jessica Allison.
• Charlotte Hooper and Jill Dougherty, who organized the 12th annual Swim Mania, bringing
in $5,600. As Charlotte’s son heads off to college, she concludes her tenure with the club.
We sincerely appreciate the countless hours she spent working on our behalf.
• Dan Giroux, who coordinated a bake sale at the Ballston Spa Summer Film Festival and
raised $386.
• Heather Daniels, who organized the Mile Swim Challenge at Shaker Junior high,
raising $1,400.
• Teri Potanovic of Boca Raton, Florida, who asked her family to make donations to the DMCF
in lieu of birthday gifts. The $500 donation honored the memories of her cousins Bobby
and Timmy.
• Caroline Burns and Aiden Wolfe, who organized the Niskayuna Wild Turkey Swim and Dive
Team’s annual swim-a-thon raised nearly $1,800.
• Joan and Steve Hart, who organized the annual Christmas cookie project, delivering
90+ tins to the CF clinics for patients to enjoy.
• Shaker Junior High School student Rachel Gee, who designed green and white
paracord bracelets to help raise DMCF awareness and made duct tape wallets to hold gift
cards included in gift totes.
• Maria Dempsey, who shopped for and catered a dinner party for 10 as part of last year’s
Emerald Eve auction.
• Megan Baltich and Tom Burns from Blairhouse Interiors, who donated their design time to
renovate the Donna Crandall Lounge at Albany Medical Center.
• Memorial contributions made in honor of David Carroll, Jamie Mormile, Alice Hallenbeck,
Ed Traeger, Elsie Phelps, Erin Phelps, Laurie Richel, and Nathanial Hammond.

A SPECIAL TEDDY BEAR
A special teddy bear – the Burke P. Bear – was named after an
incredible young man, Burke Derr, who died of cystic fibrosis
two days before his 19th birthday. Burke, always a bear collector,
began collecting only Boyds Bears when he was 13
and had over 150 in his collection.
“Burke never let CF slow him down – even as an older teenager
when he had to be on oxygen all the time, he never sat around feeling
sorry for himself. He was out to the mall, to the movies and to local
retailers in search of Boyds Bears,” said his father, Bob Derr.
“He was voted ‘Most Spirited’ by his high school graduating class.”
“In February 1997 two of his friends wrote to G M Lowenthal
(Chief Designer and President of The Boyds Collection) to tell him of
Burke’s collection and that Burke didn’t have a whole lot of time left.
Lowenthal responded, saying one of the bears in the fall collection
would be named Burke P. Bear after our Burke.” Before he died, a local
retailer had the idea of giving one dollar of every Burke P. Bear sold
to support CF research projects. Today, Burke P. Bear has joined
forces with Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide in order to continue to fulfill the dream
of a young man who wished to bring help to all who suffer with CF worldwide.
We were so touched by Burke’s story that we decided
to recognize yearly those who have supported the
DMC Foundation in a special way.
We are so honored to have Burke Derr’s parents
with us tonight and hope they find comfort in knowing
each year we share Burke’s legacy at Emerald Eve.
