Beyond the 11th is a charitable organization
devoted to supporting widows in war-torn areas,
with a primary area of concentration in Afghanistan.
Their mission is to offer financial and emotional
support to widows who have been affected by the
horrors of war and terrorism. In the process,
we promote deeper cross-cultural understanding
by forging authentic and lasting connections between
individuals and communities.
Beyond the 11th exists because of the resilient
spirit of Patricia Quigley and Susan Retik, two
mothers who were widowed on 9/11. Patti was eight
months pregnant with her second child when her
husband Patrick was killed while traveling on
United Flight 175. Susan was seven months pregnant
with her third child when her husband David was
killed on American Flight 11.
Illumina contributed pro-bono web programming
and hosting services to Beyond the 11th in the
launch of its web site and online donation capabilities.
