Benefit gala raises $60,000 for IC

To the editor:

Thank you to members of the Cape Girardeau and Jackson community, both individuals and businesses, who generously supported Immaculate Conception's first benefit gala. The event was a huge success with over 320 guest attending. The gala was one of the special activities planned to help raise fund for rebuilding Immaculate Conception's educational facilities that were destroyed in the tornado last May. Because of the generosity of the community, the gala profited approximately $60,000. Your words of support, prayers and financial assistance are sincerely appreciated.
