Krakowski Family Donation
The participants and staff of the South Suburban Special Recreation Association would like to thank the Krakowski family for
their $2,250 contribution for our Teen and Adult dance special events, in memory of Krystle Krakowski.
Krystle enjoyed all aspects of life. Her smile, sense of humor and laughter warmed the hearts of all her friends and those around
her. Krystle was a huge fan of SSSRA and became the Dancing Queen of all the SSSRA dances. She participated in drama club,
chef’s kitchen, puzzle party, and line dancing.
Krystle would have celebrated her Golden Birthday on March 24, 2007.
SSSRA will offer a dance each season in memory of Krystle Krakowski, free of charge to our residents. SSSRA will continue to
offer free dances until the contribution is completely utilized.
Furthermore, SSSRA will place Krystle’s photo and a short caption next to each special event that is sponsored by
this generous contribution.
We appreciate the Krakowski’s support, and wish them the very best.
