Cari Sapp donated nearly $20,000 to the Forgotten Children’s
Fund during a Northwest Yacht Captains meeting on December 20, 2004.
The meeting raised more than $40,000 to go towards the purchase of
clothing, food and toys for local underprivileged children and their
families.
The Northwest Yacht Captains organization, a group of local
yacht enthusiasts invited local businesses and individuals to a dinner
meeting in honor
of the Forgotten Children’s Fund. This marks the fourth year the
Northwest Yacht Captains organization has supported the charity. This
year the group was able to far exceed its goal of $4,000.
“We are thrilled with the 2004 donations from the Northwest Yacht
Captains organization,” said Gordon Fouts, Forgotten Children’s
Fund board member. “Layne and Cari Sapp were instrumental in initiating
the call to action and their extreme generosity will undoubtedly help
put smiles on hundreds of children’s faces over the holidays.”
