Cooper Robertson Foundation Rainbow Award
The Cooper Robertson Foundation is truly a team effort. There are countless members of Cooper’s Crew, both old friends and new, who have joined our mission to spread awareness and raise funds for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. Each year, we want to especially recognize those who have gone above and beyond in supporting us and share with them a small token of our appreciation – the Cooper Robertson Foundation Rainbow Award.

Thank you Kierra for your creativity and generosity.

2019 Rainbow Award Winners
Lauren
Lauren owns a local photography company – Moments by Lauren and she is absolutely incredible. We reached out to Lauren early on in the process of developing the Foundation. Over this past year she has provided endless advice and support. She also offered her time to photograph our family, which was an amazing experience. We were left with not only perfect photographs to complete the Foundation’s website and communication materials, but also with family photos that our little family will cherish forever.
Mark
Mark is the type of person that always finds a way to take something good and make it even better, and that is exactly what he did for us. After hearing Cooper’s story, he encourages us to put the Foundation forward as a potential recipient in the Salesforce Canada Golf Tournament. This past summer, the Cooper Robertson Foundation was chose as the lead charity for the Salesforce Golf Tournament, and in August 2019 we received a corporate donation beyond any of our expectations. Without Mark, and his amazing heart and support for Cooper, this would not have been possible.
