We lost a dear friend and long-time supporter of RAFT this week. Mike Hackworth, active with various philanthropic efforts in the community, passed away on April 21st. Mike, who served on RAFT’s Board Marketing Committee as well as on RAFT’s Advisory Board, was a staunch supporter of quality hands-on education for our youth. We will miss Mike’s enthusiasm, sage advice and generous spirit. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to his wife Joan, and to his family and friends.
