CRE-Sponsored Fundraiser Honors Fallen Navy SEAL
More than 300 commercial real estate professionals and friends are expected to gather Jan. 25 for the 2nd Annual Kristensen Boxing Smoker at the Palmer House Hilton, where boxers from the U.S. Naval Academy will take on Chicago Golden Gloves Champions in eight bouts.
The fundraiser is co-hosted by Colliers International’s Michael Marrion and Herndon Capital’s Mike Martin, and honors Navy SEAL Erik Kristensen, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2005 as he and his men responded to a call from fellow SEALs. It’s sponsored by Related Midwest, LendLease, FE Moran, The Telos Group, Colliers and Riverside Investment and Development.
All money raised will endow a scholarship at St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago in honor of Kristensen, and will support the children of Chicago Police and Fire Department and military personnel.
Special guests include professional boxer Mike Lee. The national anthem will be sung by U.S. Marine Edward Schrank.
