Fundraising for Sick Child
Brian May 5th, 2006
Via Rhett over at the Roanoke Firefighters’ site, I see a fundraising campaign is underway to help cover Ian Herbst’s transplant-related expenses.
From Ian’s site:
Radford, VA – Ian Herbst is the focus of a fundraising campaign to assist with his medical expenses. Born on June 27, 2005, Ian was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia, and doctors at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in Georgia recommended a life-saving liver transplant. An estimated $100,000 is being raised by Radford volunteers to assist Ian with his transplant-related expenses.
Volunteers are needed to assist with raising funds for Ian’s transplant-related expenses. Individuals and groups interested in more information can contact Michelle Hartz at 800.366.2682 or michelle@cota.org.
Funds are needed for Ian’s transplant-related expenses and post-transplant care. Tax-deductible donations may be made in person at any Wachovia Bank branch location using account number 3000025425609 or mailed to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association, 2501 COTA Drive, Bloomington, IN 47403. Checks or money orders should be made payable to “COTA for Ian H.” Secure credit card donations are also accepted online at www.cota.org.
Marty Martin, also of Roanoke, has this:
CCS-Inc (aka Comprehensive Computer Solutions) is raising money for baby Ian H.
Ian was born with Biliary Atresia and is in need of a life-saving transplant. The employees and families of CCS are having several fundraisers (with the help of COTA) to help offset the $100,000 cost of the transplant.

Hi,
I am helping launch a fund raising campaign for a little boy with autism who doesn’t eat. Can you very kindly pass on any info about how to set up a bank account for him that will enable people to receive tax receipts when they make a donation?
Thank you and much good luck,
Jennifer
