Thanks to the generosity and support of our friends and family, the Karaoke for Kate night was a smashing success.  Whether you participated in karaoke or had a friendly conversation, all had a great evening.  In addition to raising awareness to mitochondrial disease, we managed to raise nearly $3,000.

"Fun Walk to Raise Awareness"

On a cool, partly cloudy day, we gathered to raise awareness of mitochondrial disease and to celebrate Kate.  The morning fun walk began with several speakers who addressed the group with messages of inspiration and hope.  After the “fun walk”, a tree dedication and balloon release highlighted the event.  The Kaitlin Vasilich Hope Fund also distributed scholarships to three young ladies who will be enrolled in university studies this fall.  Their major will be education, which was one of Kate’s dreams.  Thanks to the generosity of all who participated, the event raised nearly $10,000.


A few words of remembrance before the walk.
Friends of Kate's join in the fun!
Raising awareness and celebrating Kate. Over 300 strong!
