11 year old Brandon passed away in 2010 after a 7 year battle with a brain tumor. Brandon raised money for his doctors, held a lemonade stand and gave the money to other kids in the hospital.
Brandon started a toy drive for the kids in the hospital over Christmas. He and his friends delivered more than 400 toys to Seattle Children’s for all of the kids in the hospital over Christmas.

After Brandon passed away his mom started Brandon’s Goal Foundation. The foundation has grown to become so big that she opened a thrift store with her best friend to support the foundation. Jeanne McDonald and Kris Forth now run Finding Treasures. FT is a nonprofit thrift store where you can find vintage clothing, furniture, kids clothing and more.
The grand opening this weekend will fill the parking lot with treasures for you to find from the contents of ten storage lockers - and the proceeds will go to pediatric cancer research.
I went to this, it was really fun. The prices were really good and I was happy to shop where you actually know where the money goes. The owners were super nice!
