Helping Marian Catholic Families
Please enjoy Erin Skelly’s speech from the 2017 Becky’s Warriors Golf Outing. We were honored to hear her words…
I was honored to be the guest speaker at the 2016 Becky’s Warriors Golf Outing and Dinner Fundraiser. I am now a member of the Golf Outing Committee for this year’s event and excited to help the organization raise funds for others like me and my family. I’d like to share with you my speech from last year’s event in hopes that anyone reading this will truly understand the impact this organization can have on not only those fighting cancer but the family members that fight alongside them….
In August of 2006, I was working my way through a branch office of a brokerage firm in Boca Raton, Florida. I remember the day very vividly; it was a hot, humid afternoon around 2pm and in typical South Florida fashion, the sun was shining, but we were in the midst of an afternoon downpour outside. I was going about my day, knocking on doors, shaking hands, generally just trying to do my job. More info
I felt compelled to join Becky’s Warriors to make a difference in the lives of families affected by cancer.
I did not know Becky in high school. I graduated in 1994 with her sister, Amy, but did not know her well. You may be wondering why I would agree to help a family I didn’t know until I first helped with the golf outing in 2014.

Her family, friends and coworkers were so generous with their love, time and treasures.
At such a young age, it was very hard to comprehend why someone so young could be faced with such a terrible disease. More info
My friend Mike Indovina lost his battle to lung cancer in 2012. Back in 2012, I partnered with another cancer organization to raise funds and learned that the majority of the money went to research. I knew I wanted to do more. More info
