KOMAK is an all-volunteer Portland-area 501(c)3 charity providing financial assistance to
cancer patients who are unable to work during their treatment.
We help with the bills of daily life so that patients can stay in their home, eat well, and pay
their utilities while they focus on getting better and returning to work.

Well, you left us just a little over a week ago….
Just thinking of all that we’ve been through and how much you added to the Komak story. You helped us long before joining the board and even after closing out that role in 2019.
You’ve always been there for us…with that great smile and laugh and funny stories and especially your can-do attitude.
You were a big part of Komak’s successes …listed below are just a few ways you supported and impacted Komak.
……. hosting a special Toast of the Tune event for Komak each year from 2012 to 2017. A fun event, but a lot of work and your Oak Knoll team volunteered. Over $31,000 was raised.
-----donating Oak Knoll wines for Nasi’s Persian dinners and at times stepping in to help pour the wines at the events.
……. helping with the Survivor Challenge at the Tree-to-Tree Adventure Park with Franchot.
…… cooking classes. You were able to pull in so many talented people from our community who, with their good hearts, taught the culinary classes raising $1200 with each class.
……. the Wine, Dine and Dart events…2015 through 2017…what a hoot they were… so much fun. Over those years we raised a total of $115,234.
…… helping us connect with Top Golf staff for an event there, 2 days before the total shut down of all businesses due to Covid-19. Everyone that came had a great time.
…… During Covid-19 you helped Franchot with the online Worldwide Culinary Tour…. I’m sure you are the one that asked Andy Carson and Shauna Parsons to join us.
….. Your help in connecting us with the wonderful people at Sidereus Vineyard and Winery and brainstorming meetings regarding a Wine Marathon (wine tasting around their Vineyard) this coming Spring.
It is time to say Good-bye…We miss you already.
Take care, dear friend, and give Lucee a hug for us!!!!
From your friends and family at Komak
