ON MY HONOR, I WILL DO MY BEST
Alan L. Olsen to Chair $1 Million Friends of Scouting Dinner
FREMONT, Calif., January 26, 2011 - It has been said that if every boy in America knew and observed the Boy Scout Oath, we could do away with most of the jails and prisons in this country. Although no longer a boy, Alan L. Olsen, Managing Partner of Bay Area CPA firm Greenstein, Rogoff, Olsen & Co., continues to live the Boy Scout Oath and is chairing a $1,000,000 fundraising event for the San Francisco Bay Area Council’s Friends of Scouting on February 17, 2011.
Friends of Scouting provides roughly one-quarter of the money needed to operate the San Francisco Bay Area Council's Scouting camps, programs and facilities for a calendar year. These camping and training facilities are the "outdoor classrooms" in which Scouts have fun, learn leadership skills and develop into better young men. All the dollars raised on February 17th will assist the Boy Scout Council in its efforts to serve almost 20,000 youth during the year, of whom, many hundreds are deemed to be “at-risk”.
The event (which will be held at the Oakland Marriott City Center Hotel) will feature dynamic speakers and leaders in our community:
- Chairman and CEO of KOA Kampgrounds of America, Inc., Jim Rogers
- NBA All-Star and 2 time Defensive Player of the Year, Mark Eaton
- Rotary International President (2001-2002), Richard King
This is a great opportunity for local businesses and individuals to become further involved in our communities. Olsen notes, "More than anything, what our country, communities and families need right now are everyday people who can rise above their own circumstances to give back to the community. In doing so, they become true leaders – and that’s exactly what we need right now."
Sponsorships of varying levels are still available for the February 17th event.
