Striking Stone raised $500 for families of 19 firefighters killed at Yarnell Hill.

PHOENIX - July 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Phoenix, Arizona – Striking Stone held an online Facebook auction of a custom designed engraved granite memorial and announced that all funds received would be donated to the 100 Club of Arizona. The winning bid produced a $500 donation that will be used to help the families of the firefighters.

The recipient, Kate Lathrop of Phoenix, owns a cabin that survived the Yarnell Hill Fire. She and her husband were acquainted with one of the firefighters that lost his life.

“Having trained years ago as a volunteer wildland firefighter in Colorado means I personally felt the loss of the 19 firefighters this week,” noted Jeffrey (Oakley) Rolwing, Striking Stone’s Owner/Craftsman. “I am so happy that we were able to help these families in some small way and I thank all the auction participants.”

Striking Stone provides each client a method to express their personal flair and watch their artwork come to life on stone for an everlasting impression. The studio is conveniently located off the I-17 and 101 at 20816 N. 20^th Avenue, #30 Phoenix, Arizona 85027 and showcases stone choices, fundraiser options, memorial samples and customizable gifts.
