The Christine Wilson Foundation was established to remember Christine Wilson, for the warm and caring young lady that she was and to do something positive in her name. Christine died, along with 4 other students in the tragic fire at OSU on April 13, 2003. The Foundation funds two annual scholarships to a Columbus area Catholic high school (Bishop Watterson), along with other charitable hospital organizations.
The FINAL Christine Wilson 5KRun/Walk will be held this Saturday, July 31st at 10:00 am. The event will start by the Dublin soccer fields on Avery Road in Columbus. You can sign up online through the Christine Wilson Foundation or at Premier Races or the day of the race beginning at 8:15 am. Entry fee is $33 for adults, and $18 for children 18 and younger. Many age group awards will be given following the run and all participants will receive a special commemorative T shirt. While this is the final run, a Christmas season concert will continue to benefit the Child & Family Advocacy Center at Children’s Hospital.
NIFAST applauds the efforts of the Wilson family and members of the foundation who have worked tirelessly in Christine’s name.
Good luck runners!

NIFAST will be represented as an exhibitor at the upcoming Campus Safety Health and Environmental Management Association conference on July 17-21st in Baltimore, Maryland. Our team plans to present and highlight the Flashpoint college test and course.
A little about CSHEMA…
The Campus Safety, Health, and Environmental Management Association, CSHEMA, provides information sharing opportunities, continuing education, and professional fellowship to people with environmental health and safety responsibilities in the education and research communities. CSHEMA leads by listening to its members, organizing their efforts, developing leadership that responds to the needs of the education and research communities, and striving for excellence in everything it does.
Nifast decided to attend CSHEMA as an exhibitor this year due to the quality of presenters, and the opportunity to further illustrate the improvement and headway that Flashpoint is making in the market. Our team also hopes to enhance our technical skills and breadth of professional knowledge relevant to campus environments, health and safety, and emergency preparedness issues. Fire safety is at the forefront of these issues!
We are looking forward to sessions that will cover a wide range of topics, are highly interactive, and will provide us with valuable “take-home” materials that will further help to validate our programming.
Stay tuned to our Facebook page as we prepare and attend the conference.
Thank you,
Steve Smith – President of NIFAST
NIFAST is a national company comprised of certified fire safety professionals, founded and operated by fire safety industry leaders.
