Jack Savage Memorial Fund Ski-A-Thon-TeamLaneRubin
Tax deductible
To all of our loved ones,
On May 25 of this year, we lost our dear brother, cousin, nephew, and friend, Jack Curtis Savage, to Ewing's Sarcoma after a long 5-year, hard fought battle. To honor the man and skier Jack was, we have decided to kick off an annual Ski-A-Thon fundraiser for The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center benefitting Adolescent and Young Adult cancer research in Jack's name! I hope you will join us in honoring Jack and donating to this foundation.
Ski-A-Thon
Jack loved to ski. Over these past 5 years in particular, there are few places that he felt more at home than floating through the powder. Some of his fondest memories were skiing with friends and family throughout New Mexico and Colorado, with his faithful sidekick (his dog Cleo) waiting at the base of the mountain. His drive and love of skiing led to the decision to combine our fundraising efforts with a weekend ski trip to Crested Butte, Colorado on February 4-7th, 2021. There will also be an online silent auction with a lot of great trips and items! (link coming soon) The event is open to anyone interested and we look forward to sharing plenty of laughs and stories about Jack while benefitting a great cause that has been truly underfunded for some time now. If you want to find out more about the event, please check it out at the google doc below and feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions.

Donations
Skiers will be responsible for their own trip expenses, so all donations will go directly to MD Anderson and all donations are tax deductible. We understand today's climate may make it difficult to spare anything for donations and we completely understand. If you are unable to make a donation, I ask that you share this GoFundMe with anyone that may be interested in donating or attending the event. Every little bit helps and any donation would be greatly appreciated!
Options For Donating
Option 1) You can make a one time donation through this page
OR
Option 2) To spice things up a bit, we came up with a more interactive way to donate. We found an app that will track the number of runs I do during the 2 days skiing. You can donate $X per run I am able to complete at the end of the two days of skiing. If you choose this option, donate the amount you choose to donate per run and in the comment of your donation please type "per run." After the event I will reach out and ask you to donate the rest you committed.
EX: donate $5 and type "per run" in comment. If I ski 40 runs over the 2 days that is at total of $200 and I will ask you to donate the remaining $195 ($5 initial donation + the remaining $195 =$200) to this GoFundMe page
NOTE: you can also set a max donation limit for option 2 if you think my knees are stronger than your wallet
