About The Moyer Foundation
The Moyer Foundation (a public, 501 c 3 organization) headquartered in Seattle, WA, was founded in 2000 by World Series-winning, Major League All-Star pitcher, Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen. The Foundations mission is to provide comfort and support to children enduring a time of profound physical, emotional or financial distress. With the communitys support, The Moyer Foundation has raised over $17 million to assist over 170 different programs that directly serve the needs of children in distress. In addition to supporting programs through grants, The Moyer Foundation created and funds Camp Erin, the largest bereavement camp in the country for children and teens; Camp Mariposa, for children affected by addiction/substance abuse in their families; and community partnerships such as The Gregory Fund for early cancer-detection research. The Moyer Foundation raises funds through many special events, corporate partners and individual donors. 100% of individual donations benefit children in distress.
