Formation of the Jessica M. Berman Memorial Fund


Jessica's family is pleased to announce the formation of the Jessica M. Berman Memorial Fund.  This initiative has been lovingly established to honor Jessica’s memory and continue her fight against breast cancer.  Please visit the Fund's website at www.WonderWomanFund.org.

Since childhood, Jessica had an affinity for Wonder Woman, the warrior princess fighting for justice and peace.  She came to embody this heroine in her personal battle against breast cancer.  Diagnosed while she was five months pregnant with her son Leo, she became a tireless fighter for her life, and an inspiring advocate and a fundraiser for breast cancer research. 
The Jessica M. Berman Memorial Fund will fund selected breast cancer research institutes that Jessica supported or collaborated with. We are in advanced discussions with a particular Los Angeles-based cancer research foundation regarding a partnership that would include an annual family walk/fundraiser that, in combination with proceeds raised by this memorial fund, will support specified cancer research initiatives.  We expect to have more definitive details on this exciting partnership in the coming weeks ahead.
If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to the Fund, please send a check payable to The Jessica M. Berman Memorial Fund to the following address:
The Jessica M. Berman Memorial Fund
c/o Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc.
10250 Constellation Blvd
Suite 2250
Los Angeles, CA 90067

The Macquarie Group Foundation has generously agreed to match total donations made to The Jessica M. Berman Memorial Fund of up to $100,000—sharing in the goal of finding a cure for cancer and supporting those continuing to fight this horrible disease.
