9 <br /> April 14,2015 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> Thank you so much for considering our request to hold the ninth annual Brett <br /> Jensen Memorial Fun Run/Walk which will be held on Saturday,August 25,2018,with <br /> the assembly area being at Legion Memorial Park, 145 Alverson Blvd. in North Everett. <br /> We would like to provide you with more details about our request for this event. <br /> Background: Our son,Brett,attended Cascade High School where he graduated in 2001. <br /> He was a wonderful,talented,kind,fun loving,and caring young adult. Among his many <br /> accomplishments,he was Associated student Body President,had a 4.0 grade point <br /> average,played football and track,was a Washington Scholar, a graduation speaker, <br /> elected Governor of Boy's State and was selected to Cascade High School's Hall of <br /> Fame, In the fall of 2001 he entered the University of Washington. Tragically, on May <br /> 7,2002 he fell to his death off the third story deck of his fraternity. As you can imagine <br /> this event has devastated our family and changed our lives forever. Shortly after his <br /> death, we established the Brett Akio Jensen Memorial Scholarship Fund, In fourteen <br /> years we have given out over$150,000 to local high school students in the Everett area. <br /> Each year we give one scholarship to a deserving Cascade High School student and one <br /> in partnership with the Rotary Club of Everett.. <br /> Purpose of the Event: The purpose for doing the fun run/walk is really four-fold: 1. <br /> First and foremost to remember and honor Brett.2. To stress the importance of health and <br /> fitness. 3.To raise some money so that we can continue giving scholarships through <br /> Brett's Memorial Fund. 4. To have fun. <br /> Route: The route we have chosen is clearly marked on the enclosed map. We would <br /> start and finish at Legion Memorial Park. The approximately 3.5 mile route would go <br /> from Legion,head west on Alverson and continue south on Grand to 19th street. At 19th <br /> street, the runners and walkers would turn around and run north on Grand back to Legion <br /> Memorial Park. The participants would run/walk on the sidewalks,bike paths and <br /> shoulders of the road so as not to block traffic. We feel that this route would have <br /> minimal effect on traffic as a whole and would require little supervision. Like the last <br /> eight years no streets would have to be closed for this event. We would have a traffic <br /> controller where the run begins and also at 19th and Grand. Traffic cones will be placed <br /> where there are no sidewalks or bicycle lanes. <br /> Preparation: We are willing to do whatever is required or needed to prepare for this <br /> event. The Alverson neighborhood will be be notified through their local association. <br /> Please contact Mark Sadler at the City of Everett regarding this or any other concerns you <br /> may with traffic control,safety,etc. Mark's work number is 425-257-8967. <br /> This event would mean a great deal not only to our family but to the hundreds of <br /> friends who Brett enjoyed during his short 19 years here on earth. Thank you again for <br /> your time and consideration. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call us at <br /> either 425 338 1877 or 425 330 8430. <br /> Sincerely,Don,Jan,and Megan.Jensen <br /> 50 <br />
