A fundraiser in memory of BriAnna Kruzel will take place Tuesday, March 15 at Mulligans in Sartell, with a silent auction from 5-9 p.m. and a pasta dinner from 5-8:30 p.m.
It’s the third annual fundraiser for “What Would BriAnna Do?,” which is raising funds for an Angel of Hope project by Lake Francis in south Sartell.
Kruzel was an 18-year-old Sartell girl who died at home suddenly and unexpectedly Sept. 28, 2013. Since then, family and friends have raised money for causes that Kruzel, a dedicated volunteer, cared so much about.
The foundation to honor Kruzel plans to place an angel statue near Lake Francis, a permanent monument and memory of the children who have died too soon and where parents, siblings and others can remember them and pray for them.
Tickets to the fundraiser at Mulligans can be purchased in advance at Sartell City Hall or by calling Tami Kruzel (BriAnna’s mother) at 320-492-4691 or by visiting the foundation’s website at WWBDinc.org.
