12th AnnuAl
Welcome to the 12th Annual Emerald Eve! Over the past dozen years, Emerald Eve has evolved from
a small group of family and friends who gathered at John and Terri Snow’s home to an event that
attracts over 300 guests who help raise more than $100,000. Tonight, we pause to remember Donna
Crandall’s journey, and to celebrate the achievement of raising $1.5 million dollars in her honor.
The Donna M. Crandall Memorial Foundation is our way of keeping our promise that Donna
will never be forgotten. Just as it was in the beginning, the Foundation remains a family-run
organization, with no overhead or administrative costs, relying entirely on your generosity.
Every dollar we raise goes back to helping local cystic fibrosis patients
waging their own personal battles. We could not do it without your help.

WELCOME
On behalf of The Donna M. Crandall Memorial Foundation Board of Directors, thank you for
joining us this evening as we celebrate our 12th anniversary.
Twelve years, 1,100 gift bags and more than $1.5 million later, our mission remains to
positively impact the lives of local people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Your dedication and loyalty
help us to do just that.
The Foundation was established in January 2000 as a special way of keeping Donna’s memory
alive for her daughter Kerianne, who was just 15 at the time. The years have gone by so fast:
Kerianne went on to graduate from The College of the Holy Cross and then from the University
of Texas at Austin, where she received a master’s degree in chemistry. She now resides with her
husband Anthony in Birmingham, England, where she teaches high school chemistry. Her
mother would be so proud.
Donna was organized, smart and unwavering. She never let CF stand in the way of her dreams.
She grew up in Levittown, Long Island, the oldest child of Gordon and Nancy Murray. Donna’s
life was rich and busy with her brother, Kevin, and sisters Regina and Noreen. They enjoyed
paper routes, trips to Ireland and star gazing at the beach. They spent hours bike riding, body
surfing and singing at the guitar mass. Kevin will share more insight into growing up with
Donna in this evening’s video.
A 1979 graduate of Siena College, Donna worked as a manager for the Retirement Services
Group at The Ayco Company, LP, for nearly 20 years. Ayco President Tim O’Hara recently recalled
that, “Donna was as dedicated to Ayco as anyone could be — working up until her last week of
life. She never wanted anyone to feel sorry for her despite the struggles she endured because of
cystic fibrosis and, instead, made her focus be her family, work and her clients. She was truly an
extraordinary person who made people around her better.”
Donna believed one day there would be a cure for CF. She would be thrilled to know that
earlier this year, the FDA approved Kalydeco, a new medication that is changing the lives for
some patients with a specific CF gene mutation.
A pill taken twice a day, Kalydeco has made a huge impact on the lives of two local college
students, Scott and Kayleigh Marcella, who will also share their story in tonight’s video.
This new medication is improving patients’ quality of life in a way nothing else has. We are
getting closer to the cure. But in the meantime, with your help, the Foundation will bring peace
of mind and assistance to those patients and families who are still fighting the fight.

DONNA M. CRANDALL
MEMORIAL FOUNDATION PROGRAMS
Inspired by Donna’s concern for her fellow CFers, everything The Foundation does is designed
to make life better for people with CF and their families.
Foundation gift bags are legendary among CF patients admitted to Albany Medical Center. Each
canvas tote bag is filled with items especially selected to help make a hospital stay a little more
bearable, such as Kindle Fires, Nook Tablets, Nanos or portable DVD players, hand-held games,
popular magazines, Mary’s UNO cards, toiletries, snacks and gift cards to Panera, Dunkin’ Donuts,
Starbuck’s and Price Chopper.
In addition to gift bags, The Foundation also pays for miscellaneous hospital room expenses for
patients, including telephone access, TV service, parking passes for visitors and cafeteria debit
cards. For patients traveling from far away for their care, the Foundation provides accommodations
at the Hilton Garden Inn located across from the Medical Center.
It is also our privilege to act as a resource for CF patients and families with significant financial
challenges. These efforts can be as simple as helping families catch up with rent or mortgage
payments or paying outstanding bills to avoid service termination by National Grid or other
utlility companies.
We also strive to help those facing unique situations, which this year varied from helping a young
single mother buy birthday gifts for her CF son to providing financial assistance to a father forced
to use all vacation time so he could be present for his struggling daughter. Families can turn to
us when the going gets rough. Our goal is to buoy them through tough times so that they can
worry less about everyday challenges and more about helping keep their loved ones healthy.
To spice things up for patients going to CF clinic visits, each summer, Donna’s nieces and nephews
organize a special giveaway. The 2012 summer surprise was organized by Donna’s niece, Sarah
Cheney. This year’s theme celebrated the Summer Olympics. Each patient was given a Team USA
drawstring bag, a water bottle emblazoned with “Road to London” and the Foundation logo, and
a $50 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift card. Each bag also contained a “USA gold medal” with a lucky
gold medal count number. At the end of the Olympics, three patients whose medals matched the
actual US tally were awarded $2,012.
The Foundation‘s Scholarship Program is a valuable resource designated for high school graduates.
Last June, eight scholarships were awarded to local CF seniors to help defray costs associated
with pursuing higher education.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
In addition to the amazing support we enjoy from individuals and Emerald Eve sponsors, we are
blessed by the ongoing dedication and generosity of local community groups and volunteers
who work hard to help us with our effort. Every penny truly makes a difference.
Over the past five years, the following groups have helped to raise over $75,000 for the Donna
Crandall Foundation. We are grateful for all their time, talent and interest to helping us make a
difference in the lives of so many local families.

A SPECIAL TEDDY BEAR
A special teddy bear – the Burke P. Bear – was named after an
incredible young man, Burke Derr, who died of Cystic Fibrosis
two days before his 19th birthday. Burke, always a bear collector,
began collecting only Boyds Bears when he was 13
and had over 150 in his collection.
“Burke never let CF slow him down – even as an older teenager
when he had to be on oxygen all the time, he never sat around feeling
sorry for himself. He was out to the mall, to the movies and to local
retailers in search of Boyds Bears,” said his father, Bob Derr.
“He was voted ‘Most Spirited’ by his high school graduating class.”
“In February 1997 two of his friends wrote to G M Lowenthal
(Chief Designer and President of The Boyds Collection) to tell him of
Burke’s collection and that Burke didn’t have a whole lot of time left.
Lowenthal responded, saying one of the bears in the fall collection
would be named Burke P. Bear after our Burke.” Before he died, a local
retailer had the idea of giving one dollar of every Burke P. Bear sold
to support CF research projects. Today, Burke P. Bear has joined
forces with CFW in order to continue to fulfill the dream of a young
man who wished to bring help to all who suffer with CF worldwide.
We were so touched by Burke’s story that we decided
to recognize yearly those who have supported the
DMC Foundation in a special way.
