Memorial Funds in Daniel's Honor
Over $95,000 has been directly raised in Daniel's name!!!
After Daniel's death we named two organizations as recipients for gifts in Daniel's name: the Christian Foundation
for Children and Youth (CFCA), and a scholarship fund at the University of Colorado.
After receiving many donations mentioning Daniel, CFCA asked us if we'd be willing to let them
conduct a special fund drive in Daniel's name to build a school in Guatemala, where we sponsor a poor child. After
we agreed, CFCA put out a special bulletin to its mailing list, telling Daniel's story.
Between our friends, web site donors, and people on CFCA's mailing list, CFCA raised well over $77,000. Only $31,000
was needed for the school. (This was to be a cinder block building, not something at American standards!) We
traveled to Guatemala last spring to see
the results of this fundraising. It was a very moving experience: not only did they build a school, they also built
a library in another community.
The memorial scholarship fund at the University of Colorado has received over $11,000, and it was bolstered this
summer of 2001 with a $2,000 gift from the Colorado State Employees redit Union. The first scholarship has been awarded.
The Colorado Association of Transit Agencies (CASTA) raised over $2,000. It was used for the
bench in Roxborough State Park, a bench and plaque in the Mausers' neighborhood, and to help pay for the hosting
of this web site.
That's over $90,000 raised in Daniel's name. Thank you all very, very much!
