Ken BouffordBoufford Has Helped The Roscoe Community
An upstate man who has brought so much to the Roscoe community may be forced to give up his job after being stricken with ALS (Lou Gehrig disease.)
We met Ken Boufford several years ago when the Chrysler Corporation along with Roscoe's Kirchner Chrysler dealership set up a 'Drive For The Chrysler' fund raiser
as part of the annual Twin Village Golf Club Memorial golf tournament.
One just couldn't meet a nicer guy then Ken and so from year to year it was something many looked forward to in seeing and holding friendly conversation with Ken Boufford.
The 'Drive For the Chrysler' fund raiser and the Memorial Tournament annually benefits the Roscoe and surrounding community and a lot of hard work goes into 'The Drive' by Karrie and Max Jara of the Roscoe Kirchner Chryser dealership along with the great cooperation from Ken Boufford, field representative for Promotion and Services, Inc., Automotive Division-Jubilee Group (Daimler Chrysler) out of Greenwich, NY.
They set up this test drive (road test) at the golf tournament and each person who drove a new Chrysler or Dodge receives a free sleeve of golf balls and Daimler Chrysler donates $5 for each test drive to the Memorial Tournament fund raiser.
This year disaster almost struck the 'Drive For The Chrysler' fund raiser and for a brief period of time there was great concern as to whether Ken would be able to attend.
The economy was making Chrysler cut down on these type of events and their representative had been stricken with ALS.
The Memorial Tournament holds the Chrysler record for signing up 210 drivers several years ago and Boufford over the years has acquired many good friends in Roscoe so he wasn't about to let this disease get him down and he wasn't about to let Chrysler pull the event from Roscoe where Ken's first "Test Drive" event was in Roscoe in 2001.
This pure gentleman who makes his home above the Albany area has played a leading part in helping to raise over $10,000 the past eight years to benefit flood victims, sick children, the youth scholarship fund and both fire department and ambulance corps in the Roscoe area.
Thanks Ken for being such a great part of helping others and we know everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting you along with this community will keep you in their prayers.
