Your support helps families in crisis with financial support so they can focus on their and their family's health
The Colette Louise Tisdahl Foundation's A Night at the Races is an event of virtual horse racing, betting, food, drink, and fun! All proceeds raised go directly to our financial assistance program which benefits families in crisis due to high-risk and complicated pregnancies, NICU stays, and loss.
Since our launch in September 2018, with help from amazing supporters like yourself, we have helped over 2,500 families in 50 states, giving away more than $1.5 million in grants.
But, the need is so much greater and in order for us to help more families, we are asking for your support. The financial assistance we provide is essential to the families we help, with over 80% of families reporting that the help had dramatically or completed changed everything for them.
But, don't just take our word for it, take a look at what some of our families have said.
"The help I received let me focus on my health and the health of my baby without stressing how I was going to make it home to appointments and back to stay with her in the NICU."
"Your foundation is such a lifeline for families in times of grief and distress when losing a child."
"If it wasn't for you guys I don't know what my life would be like, thank you so much."
"It was such a relief to know we didn’t have to stress about that bill while we were worried about our son in the NICU and mourning the loss of his brother."
"We had bad news after bad news after bad news and this was the only positive thing to happen to us in months."
"We would have lost every thing we owned and there would have been loss of communication without our phones making it impossible to find home or shelter."
"I couldn’t put the impact it had on my family and I. It was instant reassurance for us as parents that we would still make it through this, we could still give our daughter the absolute best care, and that we could focus on JUST her finally."
"It gave me a little peace of mind that I was still doing for my oldest while being there for my youngest. It kept water on for my oldest. This gave me a chance to focus on supporting my fighter in the NICU."
"Honestly my husband and I broke down and cried tears of joy because we were terrified we would have to leave our baby girl alone in NICU."
