Tree of Life
fundraiser a success
A display of 160 leaves can be seen on Main Street in Laporte. Each bright leaf has the name of a loved one remembered written on its face. The display will stay throughout the summer. You are welcome to stop by anytime and read the names.
The Tree of Life is an annual fundraiser for the all-volunteer Lakeport First Responders. That dedicated volunteer crew gives all of us in the greater Laporte community peace of mind knowing that we have a better chance at life because they are in our community.
The Lakeport First Responders are all volunteer and unpaid. They attend meetings and receive training weekly to keep themselves fresh on proper techniques of lifesaving.

Every dollar of your contributions went to the Lakeport First Responders. This year, through your donations, $604 goes toward the cost of training and supplies for the Lakeport First Responders. The Laporte-Benedict Lions sponsor the fundraiser and cover all costs.
