Fellowship Donation to St. Patrick's

The fellowship sent $ 2000.00 and American Family Insurance added additional $3000.00 (Thanks to Charlie's relentless efforts).

The school received a total of $5000.00 from the fellowship to be used for three scholarships for $1500 per student max established by the school.

Additionally, $500 was spent on a computer tablet.

We believe the annual tuition is around $15,000 so our donation provided a 10% donation towards 3 student’s enrollment costs.

Fellowship Honorary Members & Sponsor's

Team:

It gives me great pleasure to announce our first Honorary Member and Honorary Sponsor of StPat’s Class of’71 Fellowship.

Alumnus Frank Randazzo has been a staunch supporter and participant in our Fellowship. Frank has been actively involved in fundraisers and being the conduit with America Family Insurance in matching donations from Frank and sponsors.

Frank is a fun-loving person that will fit right in the positive character of our sponsors. Frank enjoys golfing and just hanging out with the guys! Let’s all welcome Frank as our first Honorary Sponsor to our Fellowship!👏

Last, but certainly not least, I’d like to welcome our first Honorary Member to our Fellowship, former cheerleader Doreen Chambers!👏 Doreen has attended our Hall Of Fame reunion as well as our Lou Malnati’s party. Doreen will be joining us at our Christmas Dinner next week.

As mentioned numerous times at our HOF reunion, our success was a team effort! Our cheerleaders led by Doreen were major contributors to our success.

Therefore, please join me in welcoming Doreen Chambers as our first female Honorary Member to join our Fellowship!🥂

Congratulations Doreen for this honor could not have gone to a nicer person!
