It’s been 17 years since two lives were lost in a house fire. The Ragusin family will never forget the kindness of our family, friends, and kind people that came to the Grand Slam Fishing Tournament in memory of our son Chris.

The organization that was held for 9 years helped many Calhoun graduates to start their first semester of college by giving scholarships to more than fifty students. Also, the organization helped cancer patients and local residents that needed financial assistance.

The Ragusin Family wants to thank Port O’Connor, Seadrift, and the surrounding towns that gave selflessly their time to cook, set up, sell T-shirts, koozies, raffle tickets, and help with clean up. We also want to thank all of our wonderful friends who donated items to the live and silent auctions as well as purchase items.

We would have not gotten through the loss of our son without all of the family and friends’ support in making this event happen. There are too many people to mention and thank, but you know who you are.

We thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. In closing keep in mind Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd…”

Love, The Calvin & Sally Ragusin Family
