When Michael asked me to be involved last week ( something about stepping in front of a train) I jumped at the chance.  This is potentially a great program that can raise awareness among groups that sorely need training.  I know there is a bit of donation fatigue out there but throw something into the kitty for a good program.  Lots of donations, small and large will allow us to reach more backcountry users.


[Yes all, throw down into the "Kitty"  (well punned, Gregg. All the Raffle Proceeds at NSAS will go to this scholarship. We have WFR course, transceivers, packs, goggles, and free beer. Come and donate to the scholarship and upgrade your gear at the same time.)]

this is such an awesome way to honor monika and keep her spirit alive! she loved sharing her love of the mountains with others, and i think it would warm her heart to know that she will continue to impact others positively.  great idea--we will definitely be donating to support this cause!

This is wonderful, thanks to all of you who have put this together.  Monika was a special person who touched lots of us, her spirit will live on in the Yuki Awards.  Monika will continue to share with others through this educational award scholarship.  She would be touched.

It would nice to see REI among the program donors.  Have they been asked?
