Boersma Family Trust Fund
For the 2023 event, we will also be recognizing Doug Boersma, a member of the Purdue Athletics sports medicine department from 2012-23 who tragically passed away on June 21.
Doug was a Purdue alum (’97), and was an avid runner and outdoorsman. He would have undoubtedly found his way into the field of participants for this year’s Purdue Boilermaker Half-Marathon. Doug is survived by his wife, Cari, and daughters McKenna, Ashlyn and Kayden. A portion of the proceeds from this year’s run will be donated to an educational trust fund established for his three daughters.
Please consider making a contribution to the Boersma Family Trust via Venmo (@Boersmafamilytrust) or through mail, c/o Farmers & Merchants Bank, 275 Sagamore Pkwy W., West Lafayette, IN 47906.
