erden Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) Mountain Madness is hosting a fundraising event on January 4th between 5:30-7:30 pm at Seattle REI for the Boskoff-Fowler Search and Rescue Fund. D a n Mazur, NOLS and area companies are involved to make this event successful. As Around-n-Over, we are helping Mountain Madness in this fundraising effort since 12-30-2006, hence all donations since then are tax-deductible. All funds raised will be used specifically to defray costs related to the search and rescue effort. Any surplus funds will be used to honor the legacy of Christine Boskoff and Charlie Fowler at the discretion of the Mountain Madness Board of Directors. Please consider contributing to this fund and attending the January 4th event. Thank you. Erden. Edited January 3, 2007 by erden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocksanyone Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 They will be missed. Christine was an amazing person that I'm fortunate to have known. Charlie was the quiet mountain man that I met a few times and left an impact with me. Both left us too early and I'll carry fond memories for the rest of my life. Craig Mountain Madness will be hosting an open to the public event to celebrate the life of Christine Boskoff and raise funds to help cover the costs incurred for the search and recovery efforts to find her in China. Below is a rough outline of the event schedule. I will be speaking at this event. I hope you may be able to join us and taking a brief moment to celebrate Christine’s life and accomplishments.
