	In memory of Michael J. Jaminet

The Shutterbug Foundation was founded in memory of our brother Michael Jaminet. Michael was a loving son, brother and husband when he was diagnosed in 2005 with a glioma brain tumor - the same type of brain tumor that took the life of Senator Ted Kennedy. While Michael always maintained a positive "can-do" attitude, after enduring three years of chemotherapy, radiation, clinical trials and two brain surgeries, our brother succumbed to this dreadful condition at the very young age of 44.

Since Michael was an avid and award-winning photographer, we chose the name "Shutterbug" for our Foundation to honor his greatest passion. Proceeds raised through the Foundation are used provide scholarships to the Kent State University College of Communications and to fund brain tumor research at the Cleveland Clinic where our brother was treated. The Foundation also supports the American Brain Tumor Association and its efforts to provide services/programs for brain tumor patients and their families, as well as funding brain tumor research.

The Shutterbug Foundation is a qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
