On January 29th, El Camino Band parent Jeff "Mitch" Rogers
passed away after a long and courageous battle with brain cancer. Jeff was diagnosed three years ago, and fought the devastating odds through spirit, determination, and strength. He was a wonderful parent, husband and human being. A remembrance for Jeff appeared in the Sacramento Bee, and says in part: "Jeff believed in giving back to his community and did so in numerous ways...He was also passionate about the El Camino High School band program, of which his [twin] daughters are members. Watching the Pep Band in action at Friday night football games gave him great joy."
In accordance with his
wishes, the family requests that donations made in Jeff's memory be sent either
to El Camino High School Performing Arts
(ecARTS, Inc., Kevin Glaser, President, 4300 El Camino Avenue, Sacramento, CA,
95821 or the Fremont Presbyterian Church, 5770 Carlson Drive, Sacramento,
CA 95819.
We
thank Jeff and his family for their generosity in remembering El Camino and the
performing arts center at this sad time.
Please join us as we
keep Jeff’s wife and daughters in our thoughts.
