In May, a bench overlooking the football/lacrosse field in the shadow of Pikes Peak was dedicated in Evan’s memory at Colorado College. The bench sits under a tree dedicated to Evan’s friend and lacrosse teammate, Chris Quon, who also died too young. We chose to dedicate the bench during the weekend of the Quony Cup, a soccer tournament to raise money for cancer research started by Chris Quon, while he was a student at CC, in honor of his grandfathers who both were diagnosed with cancer. After Chris passed away in the fall of 2009, the tournament has continued each year in his honor as the Quony Cup. This year the Quon family chose to dedicate the Quony cup to the memory of Evan and Chris. CC Alums came from all over the country to take part in the cup, which is a testament to the bonds formed amongst these friends during their time at CC. At the Quony Cup, the Foundation donated $2500 to the Quon family in support of the American Cancer Society.
