Ken Whiting- Co-Man Of The Year!
So it was in Santa Cruz, until the Chamber's men of the year, Jon Sisk and Ken Whiting, created Jon & Ken's Most Excellent Adventure. Brothers-in-law, both long rooted in the community, with daughters in athletic programs, and well-experienced in nonprofit fundraising, Jon and Ken set out to find a means to generate the funds necessary to rehabilitate athletic complex at Santa Cruz High and provide other support to SCHS athletic programs.
Jon and Ken, both members of the Sunrise Rotary Club, with the
enthusiastic commitment of their fellow Rotarians, undertook the
difficult task of raising the more than $500,000 necessary for these
improvements.
At the center of the plan was their Most Excellent Adventure, a
three-day bicycle ride from Healdsburg to Santa Cruz now in its twelfth
year. In addition to undertaking the ride itself, participants we
required to find sponsors for their trip, each soliciting an average
nearly $1,000 each year. The ride, coupled with other Rotary activities
will result in a new athletic field and track to be completed in the
spring of 2010. Read more...
