RECOGNITION BREAKFAST

(This monthly Sustaining Partnership feature recognizes the many families and friends who havemade contributions to the Foundation to provide memorial scholarships for a loved one. Fundingthese scholarship accounts has made it possible for the Foundation to provide substantial tuition

aid to so many Northshore graduates).

A 2006 graduate of Bothell High School and itsConstruction Academy, B J Brown is remembered as an

amazing athlete who enjoyed skiing, snowboarding, hiking,climbing, wakeboarding, surfing, bicycling and hunting. Hismany accomplishments included completing RAMROD (a150-mile around Mt. Rainier in one day) at the age of 17

and summiting all five mountains in Washington -- includingMt. Rainier -- at the age of 14.

The scholarship is for a young person who most sharesBJ’s character and spirit.” He especially loved the subjects

of math and science and those courses became morerelevant when he entered the Construction Academy in his

senior year. It was in this program that BJ found his realpassion doing an internship with GLY Construction in the

spring of his senior year. He aspired for a career inconstruction management. B J died in August of 2006 from

an auto accident.

The 2016 B J Brown scholarship of $2,000 was funded jointly by the Foundation andBJ’s family. It was awarded to Bothell graduate Rocio Barajas, now attending UW

Bothell studying communications and education.

As mentioned earlier in UpNext, donations to this new scholarship growth fund are nearing$200,000 added to the Foundation’s investment pool this year. The brand new Fund is

designed to generate new investment dollars to provide more scholarships of greater valuein the years ahead. We’ll have more details next month how the Foundation plans to take
