WHAT IS THE FOUNDATION
We are a group of educators, business people, artists and children of all ages, world wide and on the Island of Chincoteague who are enlisting the financial help of others who wish to preserve the property and the legend of "Misty". Co-Founders in 1990 are Marguerite Henry, author of "Misty of Chincoteague" and Rebecca Giusti Misty fan and student.

Our board of Directors consists of:
President -
Secretary - Peter A. Stone of Breyer Animal Creations
Treasurer / Executive Director - Elizabeth Sutton, author / photographer.
Jackie Russell, a Chincoteague resident and Chamber of Commerce member.
Kendy Allen, Pennsylvania resident and owner of Misty II, serves as honorary spokeswoman and ambassador, and chairs the Chincoteague Benefit Auction.

We are a non-profit corporation based in Charlottesville, Va. with legal council in Richmond. We are supported by Newman's Own and thousands of donors, internationally.

WHAT IS THE GOAL
To raise the funds necessary to purchase and thereby preserve as much as possible of the existing original Beebe ranch property on Ridge Road, Chincoteague Island, Virginia.
Our intent is to preserve this historic place where Misty and Stormy once lived with the Beebe family. Once the land has been purchased, plans will proceed for an educational, museum to protect and display archives related to the classic books created by Marguerite Henry and Wesley Dennis. This museum will benefit future generations of Chincoteague residents, and millions of readers all over the world who travel to the Island to learn more about the Misty legend.
