BIG CREEK –– To celebrate its centennial anniversary, Central Mine Rescue (CMR) is honoring the memory of a local miner, Blaik Nutting, who passed away earlier this year.
In collaboration with Sunshine Mine staff and several local businesses, CMR has successfully raised a substantial sum over a five-month period to support Nutting's family. While much of the funds were collected through various donations and fundraisers, the bulk of the proceeds came from the sale of commemorative silver coins.
CMR Director Danny Peterson explained that for the last 15 years, the non-profit organization has held a fundraiser around the time of their anniversary and donated the proceeds to someone in need.
