This is the organization’s premier fundraiser which support for future search efforts. The banquet is to be held May 20 at The Rink in Monticello.

Guests will enjoy dinner, silent and live auctions, and entertainment provided by comedian Kristin Andersen-Anderson. This promises to a fantastic evening in support of a great organization.

Jane Straub of the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center will be on hand to share information on their partnership with United Legacy. Emceeing the event is Ted Haller of Fox 9. Tickets start at $30 per person.

United Legacy was first envisioned when founder Deanna Villella’s brother, Christopher Rossing, went missing in 2014. After her experience, she made it her mission to ensure that no family needs to face search for a loved one without help.

On a search in Otsego last fall, nearly 5,000 United Legacy volunteers were on the scene. “It really is beautiful to see a community coming together in such numbers,” said Sarah Syverson, a United Legacy search volunteer.

United Legacy has had an unfortunately busy inaugural year, but it is through the passion of its members that the work continues in an effort to find those who have gone missing and provide answers to their families. Through compassion and public’s generosity, the work of United Legacy can carry continue.
