Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track.

When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal.

Ryan Songey: Dance Marathon

As a member of Knights of Gonzaga we assist at many charity events throughout the year. This past weekend we assisted at the Dance Marathon which is a charity event supporting the local children’s hospital in Spokane. It was an amazing event to be apart of and witness. Multiple families went up on stage to share their journey at the children’s hospital. I was amazed at the strength and hope that each patient showed. The families shared how grateful they were for the money raised which made their experience more comfortable during their time at the hospital. It was quite an emotional sight when the final amount that was revealed to the crowd. The Dance Marathon team’s goal was to raise $65,000 this year, and they raised over $76,000. I was honored to witness the reveal and see the impact it made on the families present. This is an event I hope to attend and support more in the future. I am very glad the Knight and Setons were able to help out with such an amazing and impactful event.
