Taylor Richmond benefit to help Sabrina Bushlack
The beneficiary of this year’s formal dance — open to the public — is Sabrina Bushlack, a senior biochemistry major, who was seriously injured last summer by a drunk driver in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The accident left Sabrina in a medically induced coma for several weeks. Bushlack is back on campus for the spring 2013 semester and making great strides. During her Saint Mary’s career Sabrina has been active in varsity volleyball, liturgical ministry, and as an orientation leader.
The benefit dance has become an annual tradition since its start in 2001 by students in honor of Taylor Richmond, son of SMU staff member Nikki Richmond and Nick Richmond. Each year this event benefits someone in the SMU community in need.
The dance, featuring music by the Johnny Holm Band, will be held in the gymnasium. Ticket prices are $18 per person or $30 per couple. To purchase tickets or receive more information, contact Lance Thompson at Ext. 1686. Dance tickets will also be available at the door.
In combination with the dance, a silent auction will be held on campus from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. today, March 22. A variety of homemade goods, gift baskets and specialty items will be on display in the game room, located in the Toner Student Center. The public is welcome to bid.
To make a donation, send checks — payable to the Taylor Richmond Benefit Dance — to Thompson at Campus Box 1528.
