We are politely asking our guests not to purchase wedding gifts. Being with us to celebrate our marriage is your gift to us that we will treasure.

However, if you insist, Glenn and I support a few charities that mean a lot to us. Making a donation in any amount to one of them would bring us great joy.

The ALS Association of Greater Washington

As the preeminent ALS organization, The Association leads the way in research, care services, public education, and public policy — giving help and hope to those facing the disease. The Association helped Glenn and his first wife Susan as they navigated the many issues with Sue's ALS diagnosis.

The IIIB's Foundation

The IIIB’s Foundation dedicates resources to comforting women through the emotional and physical pain of mastectomy breast cancer surgery by providing Bosom Buddy Baskets filled with comfort, recovery and resource items specific for mastectomy surgery. Beckie was the recipient of one of the IIIB's beautiful baskets after her double mastectomy surgery in 2020.
