Josh Powell’s sons inspire charity for foster kids

One of the only remaining items belonging to one of Josh
Powell’s sons is now the symbol of a Pierce County charity
that’s helping out foster children.

After Josh Powell blew up his home in February, killing
himself and his two sons, Charlie and Braden, detectives
searched Powell’s storage unit. Inside, they found a
drawing of a dinosaur with Charlie’s name written across
the top.

“There were so few items that belonged to the boys that
survived anything, so few items that this was kind of
precious to us,” Sgt. Theresa Berg told q13fox.com.

Charlie’s picture is now the icon for a newly formed
non-profit named, “Charlie’s Dinosaur”, which will hold
its first fundraiser on Saturday, June 30 in Spanaway. The
money
will help bring new clothing to foster children “as they
make their journey in life a good one.”

At Saturday’s event will be a 4×4 truck show, professional
wrestling, and free concert with
Rural Route 3 and Shambala. Survivor’s Jonny Fairplay is
the guest star. More event info.
