Gavin Buchanan Memorial Foundation

Gavin Buchanan Memorial Foundation This page is to highlight the Gavin Buchanan Memorial Foundation. We are a non-profit organization. It is a tragedy our family struggles daily to understand.

Just shy of his 6th birthday Gavin decided to donate his own hard-earned money to the purchase of a bulletproof vest for a police dog. He saved chore money, tooth fairy money, and anything he could earn to collect his first $100 for donation. In 2013 he had the honor of presenting the vest to "Eddie" a K9 from the Palo Alto Police Department. In 2015 he was the "Cover your K-9 Ambassador" and help

ed present a vest to the Benicia PD K9 Officer "Atos" - his hometown. Gavin had decided he wanted to help in his own community and wanted his donation to stay local. On September 5, 2015, Gavin turned 8 years old and celebrated with his family at their cabin in Greenwood, CA. The very next weekend Gavin and his family lost their lives at that cabin. Even in our grief we knew this boy with a heart of gold needed the K9 vest purchase to be his legacy. In the wake of our sorrow, we launched the Gavin Buchanan Memorial Foundation and have been granted 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization status by the IRS. Our single purpose is to ensure every K9 Officer in the United States has life saving protective equipment.

Thank you Pet Supplies Plus in Vacaville for your amazing donation!
GBMF was chosen to be a recipient of a dog wash fundraiser recently.
My heart is full knowing we were thought of and also remembering that Gavin’s first donation happened at dog wash fundraiser in Benicia, CA.
I love you and miss you so much Gavin and it's moments like this that help me feel close to you.
Till we meet again grandson. Namma
