Resident Organizes Fundraiser Climb

Issaquah resident Tom Varga, a local certified public accountant, is co-sponsoring a "Rainier Climb for Kids" next week.

On June 19, a team of six climbers will attempt to summit Mount Rainier via the Emmons Glacier to raise money for the CFOS Foundation. The foundation provides financial resources and in-kind services for children in Washington state.

The team hopes to raise $50,000, which will be matched in a challenge grant from CFO Selections.

Varga and his climbing partner, Ken Krass, will lead team members Bob Schmidt, Tom McDowell, Rick Sedd and Leo Falkenshammer. For more information about the foundation, e-mail foundation@cfoselections.com.
