Get Behind the Vest Events

Quilt Raffle

Look at this amazing quilt made by our very own 19th Ward resident, Jean Ricker! Jean has generously donated this quilt to the Get Behind the Vest Pancake Breakfast! Her kindness and talent are reflected in this work of art. This handmade quilt is approximately 6′ x 9′ and is constructed of CPD t-shirts sewn together. Raffle tickets can be purchased online for $5 for one ticket or $20 for 5 tickets. In addition, raffle tickets will be available at the event on February 19th at Saint John Fisher School, 8:00am-12:00pm.
