Giving Back to the Community – Our First Donation

On Saturday, September 3rd, Lori and I attended a vigil for Willie Bogan. Willie was the 10 year old boy that had been missing since Saturday, August 27th when he and two other boys went swimming in Lake Michigan and were pulled towards the rocks by a strong current near Racine's North Beach. The other boys, ages 11 and 12, were rescued by life guards. Willie’s body was not found for several days.

The Jonathan Kwiatkowski Memorial Fund donated $1,000 to Willie’s family to help defray burial and memorial expenses.
