Thanks for helping
In August, I mentioned the efforts to help raise money for Ross Anderson, a 12-year employee of Leupold & Stevens, in his battle against leukemia. Industry veteran and former Leupold executive Ray Oeltjen established a shooting event, raffle, auctions and a fund to help the Anderson family. A three-gun event was held August 29 in Sherwood, Ore.
Following the fundraiser, Ray asked if we would publish the following. Of course.
“The Friends of Ross Anderson would like to thank all the wonderful people and companies in the shooting sports market who so generously contributed their products to Ross’s bone marrow transplant fund. We were able to raise just short of $40,000 in the day’s shooting events, raffles and auctions.
It speaks very highly of so many in this industry who selflessly donated their time, their money and their products to this worthy cause, and I struggle for words to say how touched we have all been by your kindness.
On behalf of Ross and Judith Anderson, their son Benjamin and all their friends, I want to say a very heartfelt thank you, and God bless you all.”
