Reviews from BDB Attendees

“It was an amazing day to help an amazing family! I've been to several benefits and this was run impeccably well!!”

I had an amazing time. I just can’t believe how many people came to this benefit to honor a great man like Andy.”

“It was such a fund day! Getting to see Andy and family and all of the people that love and support them was so heartwarming!”

“It was simply a great event for a great cause. It was so well organized and the variety and value of the silent auction items was unreal. The food was very good and the band/music to top off the day was so much fun.”

ABOUT
Andy

Andy Sawatzke, beloved elementary school principal at Maple Lake Elementary, devoted father to Carson, Wyatt, Drew, and Dane, and husband to Lisa (their “Big Daddy!”), suffered a stroke on Thursday, September 7th.

Since then, Andy has made tremendous progress and his warm, kind heart shines through as he regains his speech and movement. However, there is still a road ahead - not only to support his continued healing, but also to support his family as they navigate this new chapter.

All proceeds from the Big Daddy Benefit will go to Lisa & family as they seek specialized care for Andy’s recovery. More details, and words from Lisa, can be found here.
