Rob Harris' Personal CYPRES to be Given Away to Lucky Skydiver

Posted Sunday, June 11, 2000

TRHFSkysurfers, Skydivers, jumpers at all levels remember Rob Harris as the twice World Champion Skysurfer, as the first Extreme Games Skysurfing Champion, but most of all as The Humble Champion. Rob helped to bring the sport of skysurfing to the public eye in an exciting, fun, and classy style. He accomplished this through his creative talents, his disciplines, his passion for skysurfing, and most importantly through helping others while seeking his personal best. Rob became a role model in the sport he loved the most, inspiring many to do their first jump and some to go into competition. He was the Pied-Piper for many DZs. Now, in Rob's memory, TRHF is zealously asking all DZs and jumpers to help continue Passing the Torch of a Humble Champion.

Rob HarrisThe Harris Family has donated Rob's AAD Cypres by AirTec to TRHF. The Foundation is now offering chances for the Cypres in hopes of generating funds for its charitable obligations in the year 2000. SSKI Inc. has donated the 4-year check plus batteries!! The drawing will be announced and held some time during the year. Your help is needed in distributing and/or posting entry form flyers at your DZ as soon as possible (Please make your own copies of the entry form flyer). This same information is on TRHF web site http://www.robharris.org/ as all tickets will be sold through the mail by the Foundation.

All you have to do to help is:

  1. Make copies of the entry form flyer and distribute them or post them at your DZ in a place accessible to all students and jumpers.
  2. Encourage your students who plan to be future jumpers, and those jumpers who don't own an AAD to purchase a chance. Any PR generated at your DZ for this worthy cause will be most appreciated.

The Board of Directors of TRHF and the Harris Family thank you in memory of Rob's passion for living, and hope to hear you say:

"Yes, we'll help to continue Passing the Torch of a Humble Champion."

Blue Skies Forever!
