Garlock UK Walk Raises Nearly $2,000 for AGF

“Lisa and I want to thank everyone who contributed so generously to the American Go Foundation through our recent Coast to Coast walk in England,” says American Go E-Journal Managing Editor Chris Garlock. “It turns out that many ‘Coasters’ do the walk as charity fundraisers and it gave us a great opportunity to talk about the terrific and effective work the AGF does promoting go in the U.S.” The Garlocks -- who were celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary -- have raised almost $2,000 so far to support the AGF's outreach to thousands of American children in schools, libraries and community centers across the country. "Promoting go is a long journey, not unlike a trek across difficult terrain," says AGF President Terry Benson. "Chris and Lisa have blazed an exciting new trail we hope others will follow." Deadline for donations is this Sunday at midnight; click here to contribute and to see the list of contributors. "A very special thanks to Paul Barchilon -- assisted by Roger Schrag and Andy Okun -- for excellent work on the E-Journal while I was away," Garlock added.
