Book now to reserve your spot on Mary Alice Felder’s bottle school trip: November 30th – December 6th, 2017
Welcome to Mary Alice Felder’s Guatemalan Bottle School Trip!
Mary Alice Felder was a person who always led with her heart and was a friend to everyone she met. She was diagnosed with a rare and devastating type of cancer, and within a few short months was called home far too early. Even in the face of such a dire diagnosis, Mary adopted a positive, hope-and-love-filled treatment plan. She called her campaign LOVE IT, HEAL IT, BEAT IT. It embodied how she lived and how she bravely fought cancer.
Mary Alice was a person with big dreams. We, as her family and friends, see no reason for her leaving to be an end to those dreams. She wanted to raise money and travel to Guatemala to build a bottle school, and we want what she wanted. We all agreed that Mary would prefer a legacy of helping school children over flowers at her memorial service. LOVE IT, HEAL IT, BEAT IT doesn’t die with Mary Alice. It lives in all of us as a promise to her. Thank you, in advance, for helping us keep that promise.
With love and gratitude,
– Juliana de Bres and Jessie McNamara and Bethany Webster

Fundraising for bottle schools
You might also like to fundraise for Hug It Forward bottle schools. Fundraising for bottle schools is optional – it is not a requirement of participating in a bottle school trip.
If you choose to fundraise, we suggest a $250 fundraising goal, but some people choose to do more or less than this. It’s really up to you – how much you think your friends and families can give, how creative you can be, and how much time you’re prepared to put into it.
