Family ~ Country ~ Community

Charlie was a legend of the Indian Lake Community, leading the charge on work weekends, volunteering countless hours to help neighbors and honestly preaching about the greatest place on earth to live.

He taught the community about community ~ work ethic, selflessness, integrity and civility ~ and of course, how to properly ski.

May his lessons be etched in the character of the upcoming generations and his calls of ‘First Water’ forever echo on the lake.

Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) was established in 1998 by identical twin sisters Kathy Giusti and Karen Andrews soon after Kathy’s diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Because the foundation's only motivation is to find a cure, it is unencumbered in its ability to identify the barriers to progress, develop models to overcome them, and help evolve the industry through technologies that foster collaboration and leverage the collective power of the entire community in a patient-centric model. Through this new model of funding, ten drugs received FDA approval in the time it normally takes for one and more recently, clinical trials for new drugs in three approved classes plus agents in many new classes were opened. The Foundation is committed to helping fund new drug breakthroughs that will make a difference in patients' lives and ultimately change the way cancer research is conducted.
