ST. URSULA VILLA ANNUAL REPORT Villabration 2020 Planning for Villabration 2020 began back in November when our Development staff and Villabration volunteers were at hard at work preparing for the event. The date set for the Villa “party of the year” and fundraiser was March 28th and we were expecting a record turnout from our entire St. Ursula Villa community. Then, on March 13th, the wheels fell off our wagon! When Governor Mike DeWine put in motion the COVID-19 pandemic Stay at Home order for the state of Ohio, we realized Villabration as we knew it would not go as planned. The date was changed to Saturday, June 6th and instead of the Villa community gathering together on campus, supporters were asked to tune in to Facebook Live and enjoy “Wild West at the Villa” from wherever they were. Although we were unable to enjoy Villabration favorites like the Villa Family Cellars wine pour, the Villa Jail, or Heads or Tails, virtual Villabration raised over $107,000. We are grateful to everyone who helped make the event a success! Interim Principal Kent Halaby and Events Coordinator Kristy Thomas prepare to draw the winning Grand Raffle ticket during the “virtual” Villabration. St. Ursula Villa is thankful to the following individuals, businesses, and organizations who contributed auction items, facilitated class projects, or donated in-kind to this year’s virtual Villabration. We are especially thankful to our three Event Sponsors—Johnson Investment Counsel, Home City Ice and Merrill Lynch Wealth Management Advisers including Villa parents Mark Ryan, Michael Frey, George Haddad, Dan Hass, Jim Murphy, John Payton, and Linnell Sullivan.
