The families of Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic  want to sincerely thank all those who attended the organized a search on Saturday, December 1st for our two missing loved ones.

We had the privilege of meeting many of you  at both the command center for volunteers at the Westbrook Church in  Bolingbrook, IL….and out in the freezing cold search areas.

We hope that the  “FindLisaStebic” handwarmers (which we also distributed in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan - on opening day of Deer Hunting Season)  warmed both the hands and the hearts all those people who attended the search & prayer vigil for Stacy and Lisa,  last Saturday.

Know that we appreciate, beyond words, the opportunity of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Stacy’s wonderful family, friends & supporters - in trying to find resolution in these two heartbreaking cases.

Their parallel lives as young, abused mothers who go missing while trying to separate from their controlling husbands is a tragedy which the Communities of both Plainfield and Bolingbrook now share. 

May they both be found soon…so that all may find solace through answers. 

Lisa Stebic Golf Fundraiser – Saturday, November 3, 2007

Walnut Greens Golf Club in Schaumburg, IL. 
 

On a beautiful but brisk November day, Walnut Greens, a nine hole – par 27 golf course, hosted a 4 person scramble golf tournament with the proceeds going to benefit the Lisa Stebic and Children’s Fund.  

There were 30 golfers and several volunteers helping sell raffle tickets for the many donated prizes.

Through all the participants and volunteers generosity we collected $1021.00. A concerted effort by many helped make this a great success when you consider the obstacles of hosting a golf event in November from an idea conceived a week earlier. 

We gathered to have fun and play golf, but more so, we came together to fight for a sister, mother, daughter and friend who has simply vanished.  We need to find answers; we need to bring Lisa home. 

Hopefully this small gesture to help bolster the Reward/Children’s Fund will in some way be part of a resolution.  If nothing else, it will serve as a message of love and support to all those fighting for Lisa.

Keep up the good fight!
