But tease me not, oh snowflake--

come, your season’s here at last.” ❄️

Gerad Meteyer had a way of turning quiet moments into lasting words. Written in 2001, Oh! Snowflake captures his curiosity, creativity, and deep appreciation for the world around him.

As winter settles in, we hope you’re finding moments of beauty, stillness, and hope during these colder months. At the Gerad Meteyer Foundation, we honor Gerad’s legacy by supporting young people who use their voices, talents, and compassion to create meaningful change--no matter the season.

Thank you for being part of his story and helping us carry it forward.

Thanks to your generous donations, children at Camp UPeninsulin are able to experience what they otherwise would've been unable to do.

At camp, these kids can forget about their disease and just have fun.
