Be An Angel 2021 - Brian Morden Foundation

Many people believe there are angels among us.
For some, that phrase was made popular by the American country music band Alabama in the early 1990’s, but there are also dozens of scriptural examples of angelic encounters.

The Brian Morden Foundation was created to help other children and families battling cancer after Brian and his family experienced an incredible number of earthly angels appearing to help during Brian’s fight with Ewing’s sarcoma. During his memorial service, an “Angels Among Us” video played, which showed many of the wonderful people who touched the lives of Brian and his family.

You have the opportunity this Christmas to be an angel to one or more of our Brian Morden Foundation children. These children are either currently battling cancer or have battled cancer with the hope that it will never return.

You may choose a specific child and one or more of their wishes to grant. Gift the amount of the wish(es) and the Brian Morden Foundation will make sure that our BMF kid receives their wish along with your Christmas greeting.

OR choose to gift the amount needed for Christmas Brian Baskets, gas or gift cards and allow the BMF to use your gift as needed for our children this Christmas.

Thank YOU for being an angel! <3

CHRISTMAS BRIAN BASKET

Most of our children have to travel for treatment, so a care package filled with snacks for on the road and/or while they and their parents stay at the hospital would be very much appreciated.

We’ll do the shopping for our BMF kids’ favorite snacks including: Fresh Fruit, chocolate (of course), nuts, popcorn, chips, crackers, and various cookie favorites like: Chocolate Chip cookies, Oreos, and Sugar.
