Carey Bokser Auction to go Nov. 20th |
November 9, 2006
Last February Freeride Entertainment’s senior producer Carey Bokser passed
away while skiing in the backcountry surrounding his Nelson, British Columbia
home. Carey was a passionate rider, a guy who lived and breathed mountain biking.
The way he carried through this passion at Freeride Entertainment resulted in
many relationships throughout the mountain bike universe: from riders to designers,
photographers to marketing managers.

Sadly, Carey leaves behind his beautiful wife Anne and his chubby cheeked
one-year-old daughter, Noa. As those of us in Nelson struggle to figure out
how to best help his family through their incredible loss, we’ve come
up with an idea.
The purpose of the Carey Bokser Auction is to set up a Bike Industry Trust Fund
for Carey’s daughter, Noa. She’s got the riding bug in her
veins, and we want to help her have the freedom to ride wherever she pleases
later in life.
