Donations to MD Anderson and FISD

The Mike Doiron – Legends of Friendswood organization is recognized as a 501(c) (3) organization and to date has provided in excess of $433,000 in donations to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, The Friendswood Education Foundation and the Friendswood Independent School District.

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center:
Over the history of the organization, more than $292,000 has been donated to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center for critical seed money to develop new innovative protocols and treatments. In 2011, the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and participants allowed us to donate $20,000 to this cause.

Starting in 2009 we committed to donate $100,000 to MD Anderson over a 5 year period. We have donated $62,000 over the last 3 years towards this goal. A plaque honoring our organization is displayed at the cancer research center as a sign of appreciation for our level of commitment.

Friendswood Independent School District:
Over $141,000 has been given to the Friendswood Independent School District and the Friendswood Education Foundation in the form of grants for the enhancement, development, and enrichment of education within our schools. In 2010, we were able to increase our donation to $8,000 to the Friendswood Independent School District to fully fund the “Safe School Ambassadors” anti-bullying and leadership program at both the Junior and Senior High Schools. In 2011, we were able to again increase our level of funding to FISD to $13,000 to again fully fund the growing “Safe School Ambassadors” program and the addition of training faculty and administration from each FISD campus in new innovative “Project-Based Learning” curriculum.
