In May 2016, Kathleen Leebel chaired her first fundraiser for Sussex Academy. The event was billed as a three-year Triple Crown Kentucky Derby party. During its three-year run, the derby day fundraiser generated more than $57,000 for the school.
Sussex Academy Directors Dr. Patricia Oliphant, Allen Stafford and Janet Owens recently recognized Leebel, a Sussex Academy parent, for her fundraising efforts.
Sussex Academy is a public charter, tuition-free school in Georgetown serving grades six to 12. For more information, go to www.saas.k12.de.us.
