Dear Friends:                                                                                           August 2010 

The Jon Francis Scholarship Fund was created in 2007, by friends of Jon, to continue his youth ministry.  They felt it was appropriate to hold a race in his honor, to celebrate his life and ministry, and to raise money for camp scholarships.  JFF has committed its support to the scholarship fund.   

Jon loved teaching and mentoring children in the beauty of God’s creation. The Jon Francis Scholarship Fund will provide children, of limited means, the incredible experience of a week at Luther Heights Bible Camp, in the beautiful Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), near Ketchum, Idaho. www.lutherheights.org.   

You can provide a camp scholarship by adopting a runner in the 2nd annual Jon Francis Race to Alturas, on August 14, 2010.  Competitive running was an important contributor to Jon’s remarkable character and the source of many of our memories of him.  And Jon’s many summers at Luther Heights Bible Camp strengthened his faith and ministry.  

Consider adopting a runner for $25.00.  A week at Luther Heights costs around $250.00.   The race is limited to 100 runners by SNRA Forest Service Rules. Ten supporters will send one child to camp.  If all 100 runners are adopted, we will have 10 happy campers!

           Your gift is tax deductible and greatly appreciated.  You can even donate on-line at www.jonfrancis.org.  Thank you for caring and for passing on Jon’s legacy of love and service. 

Best Regards,        David Francis
