Who Are We ?
The Karen Weidinger Foundation (KWF) is 501(c)3 foundation founded
in honor of our dear friend Karen. We are located in St. Charles, Missouri and are fully-staffed by
volunteers. Our focus is bringing breast cancer awareness to our
community, as well as providing compassion for those currently undergoing
breast cancer treatments in St. Charles and surrounding counties.
Every dollar that we have raised stays right here in our community.
The KWF continues to seek support from individuals and corporations in and
around the community. To date we have raised and given away $87,000 to help individuals and families
right in our back yard cope with the struggles of overcoming this deadly
disease. This was made possible by a variety of fundraisers including
the annual "Karen Weidinger Memorial Golf Tournament" and "Karen 4 A Kause 5K Fun
Run/Walk and Children's Mad Dash Against Cancer".
In 2004,
the KWF raised $5000 for local charities.
In 2005, the KWF made a $12,000 donation to SSM St. Joseph's H.W. Koenig Cancer Center.
In 2006, the KWF made a $32,000 donation to SSM St. Joseph's H.W. Koenig Cancer Center
In
2007, the KWF made a $38,000 donation to SSM St. Joseph's H.W. Koenig Cancer Center
