We have surpassed our original goal of $10,000 in donations for the Jack Rittichier Trophy at Kent State University.  We presently stand at nearly $10,850 collected.  However, in order to liquidate all Ptero obligations, we have had to revise our final goal for fundraising to $11,500 - approximately $575 more.

Please help us reach our final goal for this worthy tribute to Jack's memory."
