To remember Michael Scholz, to keep his memory alive, and to bring joy to children, a scholarship for the past 18 years under his name has allowed youth to enjoy Michaelâs Magic Camp â established to celebrate the passion for the outdoors.
It was the same passion displayed by Scholz, a Key Biscayne resident who died at age 30 in a car accident in Cuba. The Michael Scholz Memorial Charitable Fund has, for almost two decades, allowed children to enjoy the camp through scholarships. michaelscholzfund.org
The scholarships cover four weeks of summer camp, which starts July 12, at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center. The Trust selected the center to hold the camp because Michael, as a Key Biscayne child, explored Key Biscayneâs nature and loved the water â and fishing, kayaking, swimming â which is what the nature centerâs camp is all about.
Obituary: GLD co-founder Simon Bamber
Simon Bamber, the co-founder of licensing and distribution firm GLD Group, has died after a “very short and sudden illness”.
Bamber set up UK-based GLD in 2006. It has the licencing rights for Superga in the UK and Republic of Ireland, owns streetwear brand Addict outright, has the licence for Duck and Cover footwear, and the rights to make football-linked footwear via a business called Basiz.
GLD paid tribute to Bamber: “It is with great sadness we are advising that our business partner, co-founder and friend Simon Bamber has passed away after a very short and sudden illness. Ewan Scott and Kirsten Ryan set up the GLD Group with Simon in 2007, having originally worked with him in the mid-90s as the Kappa licensee when he was the CEO of Basic Net.
