St. Stephen Catholic School Donates To My Warrior’s Place
Linda Umoh, principal of St. Stephen Catholic School, presented a check for $2,700 to Kelly Kowall, president and founder of My Warrior’s Place in Ruskin. The school’s annual walkathon, as part of the event, held a ceremony honoring veterans and donated 10 percent of the money raised to My Warrior’s Place.
Over the years, the students have supported My Warrior’s Place through on-site visits to help with property maintenance. Kowall founded My Warrior’s Place when her son, Corey, like many others, gave his life for our freedom. My Warrior’s Place is a retreat center for veterans, military service members, law enforcement, firefighters and their families and offers programs to help the healing and coping process.
