Katee's Butterfly Festival

A walk and festival to bring awareness and hope regarding violent crime and drug use. 

The event will be held at Boulevard Park in Lake Saint Louis. 

Those interested are asked to get teams together and walk in memory of a loved one.

The Katee Hessler Memorial Foundation was inspired after 18 year old Katee was senslessly shot and killed in an attempted robbery in North St Louis County. She grew up in the suburbs of St Charles and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. She became a victim of violence for greed of drugs or money. Katee's death deeply affected everyone who knew her. Lives changed forever. Katee experienced some tough times as a teen, overcame obstacles and wanted to help others. We are continuing her mission in her memory. This year marks 10 years since this tragedy.

We hope this walk and fesitval will raise awareness and hope and give others who have been impacted by violent crime and drugs to honor lost loved ones and play a role in making a difference in our future society!
