« 80% | Main | We Did It! » February 25, 2005Puttin' On The RitzMary and I are getting dressed up for tonight's Challenge For Charity Auction at the Grand Hyatt. C4C is a club in the business school that contributes money and hours to two local charities - Special Olympics of Washington and Boys & Girls Clubs of King County. C4C is also a competition, held between business schools on the West coast. We compete with Berkeley, Stanford, UC Davis, UCLA, USC, and UC Irvine. The winner in per-capital dollars and hours (with a small nudge for athletic performance at a "sports weekend" at Stanford in April) wins the Golden Briefcase. UW has held on to the Golden Briefcase for the last 5 years. We're aiming for a 6th. This auction is the centerpiece of our fundraising efforts. We've got everything from a Bay Area Getaway to an Orlando "Roller Coaster and Rockets" trip to firearms training with the Seattle Police Department to a backstage tour of Tom Douglas' restaurants. Some of my best friends in the program are officers in C4C, and they've really busted their humps to make this event spectacular. So - Jo, Marnie, Andy, Sam, Nathan, Meredith and Kurt - thank you. Very, very, very much. With luck, we'll hit our goal of raising $100,000. Wish us luck! UPDATE, July 4, 2006: One or more of the original hyperlinks on this page expired, and has been dereferenced.
