Ziggy Marley George Foundation

The Ziggy Marley George Foundation was created after my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Ziggy Marley George, died on September 9, 2016 from cancer when he was only 5 years 4 months and 8 days old. Heartbroken by his loss, I vowed that I would take up the fight against pet cancer and the Foundation was created thereafter. On December 8, 2016 the ZMGF received Tax Exempt Charitable Status under Intern

al Revenue Code Section 501C3. Shortly after that we began to make contributions to the Pet Oncology Departments at the University of Florida in Gainsville and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Both facilities were toured and inspected to ascertain whether they would meet the objectives of the Foundation: they did. In April of 2017 we commissioned a logo from renown pet artist Amy Bolin. On May 30, 2017 our website, www.ZiggyMarleyGeorgeFoundation.org went live proudly displaying for the first time our recently commissioned logo. It is our plan to hold fundraisers in every State and to eventually vet all 30 Universities in the United States that have Pet Oncology Departments in order to make contributions to that University closest to the donor base. Our ultimate goal is to assist in the funding of these Universities in their search to find the cause and hence the cure for cancer in our beloved pets.
