The Pancake Breakfast for the Lisa Stebic and Childrens Fund raised  $3240 on July 1!

There were almost 300 adults served and as many children, as well.  We were so glad to see so many people from the community come out to show their support.

Thank you so much to the Jaycees, and to all who came to volunteer!

Volunteer Parking & PEMA Search staging area was at Kendall County Fairgrounds, near Yorkville.  

So many Volunteers arrived to register and undergo short safety briefing - many waited several hours to board buses and join in on the search at Silver Springs State Park .

CBS Network’s 48 Hours film crew..along with many of the Chicago TV affiliates accompanied the PEMA-supervised Volunteers - as they fanned out across the nearly 1,400 acres of rough terrain & wooded areas - documenting and covering this massive effort to find Lisa.

The hot temperatures and difficult conditions highlighted the intense resolve so many private Chicagoland citizens have at finding Lisa Stebic…the efforts were incredibly heroic on the parts of the individual volunteers we cannot even begin to show our gratitude to each and every one of them!

God bless and keep you all, for your enduring support and tireless-efforts in helping us in our quest to find our missing & beloved family member.

We will not rest until we do….
