Three-generation freefall

Three generations are taking the plunge together on July 8.

An 85-year-old Summerland woman will jump out of an airplane over Vernon with her daughter and granddaughter to help raise funds for a school in Tanzania.

Cathleen Loge decided to go skydiving for her birthday, and invited along her mother and daughter to make it a multi-generation jump.

The jump will support local non-government organization's efforts to buy classroom equipment and supplies for the school, which will eventually have 500 students. The school has been completely funded by the Okanagan charity.

“This campaign offers the unique opportunity to raise money for a great cause and have a ton of fun doing it,” said Patricia Phillips, executive director of HOPE.

Any others who want to get involved should contact Hope for the Nations at 250-712-2007.
