In memoriam Marie Sanowski, donation to Boys Town

Bill & Marie operated the Horseshoe Boys Ranch in Bend for more than a decade for boys aged 7-17 years-old attending from as far away as Sweden and Italy. The ranch taught horsemanship, camping, fishing, and rodeo events to campers who also did daily ranch chores and helped put up the ranch’s hay. The ranch’s summer programs, featured in Sunset Magazine, culminated with a four-day horseback camping trip along the Cascade Skyline Trail and continue to be fondly remembered by hundreds of former campers around the globe.

Marie Frances Sanowski, 91, passed away on February 17, 2022, after a brief illness, preceded by her husband, Bill, on July 5, 1999. Grandma Marie was a loyal contributor to Boys Town charities for decades. If you ever were in their home, you'll remember seeing the iconic Boys Town image in the kitchen and on her bedroom mirror of the "he's not heavy, he's my brother" logo.

We are donating funds in her memory to benefit Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause as supporting this charity has meant so much to Marie over the years.
