Many Thanks from the
Christine Kirsch Cancer Fund!

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all our friends and family in the Pittsburgh area and beyond who have helped us during these challenging times. We truly appreciate the outpouring of love, support, donations and prayers that have come our way. Many thanks to the generous businesses and people who have made donations for our fundraisers, and volunteered their time in many different ways.

A special thank you to Master Casey Kirsch who, on his own initiative, handed out flyers to his neighbors and collected donations to help his parents. Casey is going to give the donations as a surprise to his parents. Casey even wrote out all of the thank you notes. Congratulations Casey! We are proud of you!

 

Special thanks to St. Katharine Drexel School for selling

Smencils (scented pencils) to the students, which was

approved by Mrs. Bibro, and managed by Sherry Stumpf

to raise money for the Christine Kirsch Cancer Fund.

 

Dear Mr. Klisavage (Dean of Students at Seton La Salle High School),

 

Thank you very much for allowing Katie Shanahan and her committee of:  Aubrey Zielinski, Theresa Nath, Deanna Bucci, Chuck McGervey, Stacie Sikora, Montana Amato, Greg Hardesty, Gina Jurich, Tinh Tran, Chris Mankos, Maria Chiodo and Becca Osterwise to organize a fundraiser to benefit the Christine Kirsch Cancer Fund. Additionally, we want to thank all of the students who donated money in any amount to help support this cause.

 

A special student donated his jar of change that he was saving for something "special." We are deeply touched that he has chosen Chris as his "special one." The amount of the donation is not as significant as the meaning behind the donation. It is clear to us that these kids put their heart and soul into this fundraiser. We are overwhelmed with gratitude, and each of your students holds a special place in our hearts.

 

Cheryl Shanahan advised us that you would like to hold a special mass in honor of Christine. We would love to attend and will coordinate with Chris and her family in between her trips to Germany to let you know of possible dates. 

 

We wish we could personally thank you and every student who donated, participated, or even just said a prayer.  We'll end with a quote from Chris' husband, Tim Kirsch, " The future is in GREAT hands with kids like these!!"  Thank you and God Bless, Katie Shanahan, her committee and all the students of Seton La Salle!

 

 

 

Thank You!
