2nd Annual Event InfoWhy a Cairn?
A cairn is a manmade pile of stones, often in a conical form. They may mark the summit of a mountain or a memorial. Placed at regular intervals, they indicate a path across barren terrain or climbing routes. The Jon Francis Foundation (JFF), like a cairn, provides knowledge and acts as a guide to others who find themselves unwilling travelers on an unfamiliar path.
The 2nd Annual Event
The 2nd Annual Jon Francis Foundation (JFF) Event was a wonderful evening of good food and story telling with Boyd Huppert. Thank you for attending and supporting JFF with your donations. Thank you to the JFF Board for their hard work to make it happen. Thank you to Chilkoot Cafe for their hospitality and great food.
