Kate Cavanaugh Fundraiser a huge success!!
Our own Kate Cavanaugh has been selected to compete in the 18th Maccabiah Games. Held every four years, the Maccabiah Games are often refered to as the "Jewish Olympics."Well, fencers in our division really stepped up to help Kate. Joe Beibel of the Milwaukee Sport Fencing Academy organized a tournament as a fundraiser. The venue was donated. The food was donated, The directing was donated and the entry fees were donated. Also, fencers and supporters from across the state sent in contributions to help Kate cover expenses.
When the dust settled, Joe was able to present Kate with a check for $1020. Go get 'em Kate!!
