The St. Mary’s School Annual Autism Awareness Fundraiser was wonderful this year. Through the generous sponsorship of Thomas B. Wahlder, Attorney at Law, and several local businesses, St. Mary’s was able to offer its audience of supporters a special treat! The awesome songstress, Sarah Grace, entertained the attendees with a concert fit for a queen!
The dining was good, seeing friends and visiting amongst the crowd was a joy and the music of Sarah Grace added an aspect to the event that was irreplaceable!
It’s amazing that Sarah Grace is but 17; even more awesome is that she appeared on Season 15 of The Voice at the age of only 15. Whether it’s a soft, heartfelt tune of her own or hard, soul-rockin’ blues, this young lady is on point! What a voice, what a spirit, Sarah Grace is definitely just beginning her musical journey!
There is community-minded importance to supporting the efforts of St. Mary’s School, and to be a part of providing that support and recognizing their mission is what this evening is all about! Thank you, Cenla, for stepping up and taking part!
Our special thanks to Tommy Wahlder and all sponsors for making this possible. We can’t wait for next year … St. Mary’s School … You Rock!
