In her memory
Downtown businesses unite for Kristina Chesterman memorial fundraiser
In her memory
A three-day fundraiser will be held this weekend in memory of Kristina Chesterman, the 21-year-old Chico State nursing student who succumbed to injuries she sustained after being struck by an allegedly drunken driver while riding her bicycle on Sept. 22.
About 70 downtown businesses (all marked by pink posters) will donate a portion of sales made from Thursday to Saturday (Nov. 14 to 16) to the memorial foundation launched by Chesterman’s family shortly after her death, while a bike-safety and drunken-driving-awareness event hosted by Mike Griffith of G-Ride Pedi-Cab, who organized the fundraiser, will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday at City Plaza.
Go to kristinachesterman.org to make a donation to either the family’s foundation or the separate memorial nursing scholarship established by Chico State’s College of Natural Sciences; call Griffith at 354-9885 for more information on the fundraiser.
