from Sara Liebscher:   Katie Schwab is the SMC grad and former ND Director of WBB Operations who had a bad diabetic reaction last June and has been significantly disabled since. 

On behalf of the St. Mary’s Belles, I am sending an invitation to all to come out and support the Katie Schwab fundraiser sponsored by the St. Mary’s Belles for Katie at Five Guys in Eddy St. Commons on February 25, 2015.

Twenty-five percent of each receipt for the day will be donated to Belles for Katie fund which goes directly to Katie Schwab’s medical expenses. Be sure your receipt has FUNDRAISER on the top.

I am hoping you will be able to get the word out to as many people as you can in the South Bend area. Everyone loves hamburgers & everyone loves Katie!  It is a win-win.

May God continue to bless you all in your work.  We are thankful to have you with us on Katie Schwab’s journey to complete recovery and restoration,
