If you live in Seattle, you most likely know about the tragic death of Mike Wang. He was killed in a hit and run crash on July 28, 2011 while riding his bike home from work.
The driver of the vehicle that killed him has not been located nor charged for the crime.
Next Tuesday, October 18, Mike’s friends and colleagues are holding a benefit dinner and silent auction in his honor.
Please join us for an evening to remember our colleague, friend, and fellow cyclist: Mike Wang. We lost Mike on July 28, 2011, when he was struck and killed by a vehicle while riding his bicycle home from work that day.
Mike was an exceptional photographer whose work has touched the lives of so many of us. On this night, we will feature several of his pieces in a silent auction to raise money for a college fund for his children, Sylvie (age 10) and Walter (age 12).
Additionally, the evening will include remarks from Washington State Representative Eric Pettigrew and PATH Leadership. Local radio personality and friend of Mike’s family, Cathy Sorbo, will emcee the evening.
Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available through Brown Paper Tickets
I hope this event brings lots of great people together & raises lots o’ $. How incredibly, incredibly sad. Thinking of his family….
