MISSION 

 Charlie Boike stood for honor, compassion, drive, heart and courage. Throughout his short-lived life with us, Charlie had a passion for his family, his friends and teammates, hockey, animals and farming. The Charlie Boike Memorial Fund will help continue to support and encourage others to carry on Charlie’s legacy by focusing on local community outreach and contributing to the local organizations that share the same values and passions. Charlie is irreplaceable, but by carrying on what he left behind provides comfort in knowing that he will live on in our hearts forever.

ABOUT CHARLIE BOIKE  October 9, 2005 – December 10, 2022   

Charlie was born October 9, 2005, in St. Cloud, to Jeff and Erika (Vossen) Boike.  He grew up in St. Augusta and he became active in hockey at a young age.  He was currently a junior at St. Cloud Tech High School, where he played hockey for the “Crush” hockey team. He volunteered for the St. Cloud Norseman Hockey team in many capacities. Charlie was also the founder of “Farmer Charlie’s Produce.”  He was a member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Cloud, and a member of the National Honor Society.

ZAMBONI SPIRIT RIDE 

 Keep Charlie’s Spirit alive by supporting the Charlie Boike Skate Free Zamboni Spirit Ride! As part of the Memorial, we will be offering stickers to ANYONE that is willing to help Charlie get on as many Zambonis as possible; within the United States or beyond. Special thanks to Chris Doucette, who made a pin map that proudly hangs in Jeff’s office, and Chris Olson who made the virtual map; both of these maps will show the locations of the Zambonis that proudly display Skate Free Charlie. This is a passion project, driven by Jeff – Charlie’s dad, and anyone with associations are asked to help.
