The results of the raffle are in — You guys are awesome! Together we raised $1125 for the James Kim Memorial Fund, plus I’ll be sweetening the pot with my December Google Adsense income. It feels good to witness such generosity and I’m flattered so many entrusted me with their money.
Stephen randomly picked the winner of the TiVo Toaster (bread not included) which will be shipped from TiVo shortly. Bob Kemp, retired from IBM for 7 years, is the lucky recipient and hopes the Kim family is doing well.
Thank you for the contributions! Also, a big thanks to Stephen for his participation in this fundraiser.
For those of you located in the Bay Area, a memorial will be held the afternoon of February 17th at the Golden Gate Park.
The family and friends of James Kim would like to extend a warm invitation to join us in celebrating and remembering James’s life. This outdoor gathering serves to remind us of the deep ties that bring us together, and honors James’s appreciation for his family, friends, and community.
This will be a family event — bring your kids, bring a picnic, and bring warm clothes. We will be celebrating with DJs, music, and dancing until sunset.
In addition, we are proud to announce and unveil The James Kim Technology Foundation. The purpose of the fund is to benefit technology programs in public schools. Donations to the foundation will be appreciated.
I’m glad to see that you collected so much money. Nice job Dave & Stephen!
