The Jewish teens of Grand Rapids, MI participated in a program held by Aish (www.aish.com), the Jewish Federation and Jewish Teen Connection for a webcam discussion with Sara, who was at East Lansing, MI on May 31, 2009. The discussion focused on how Sara believed the Jewish community came to her family's aide during the worst of times with food, love, wisdom, friendship and their prayers. Several rabbi's visited, but many spread the word. Sara also spoke about her theory that what happened, as bad as it was, was a life saving miracle from G-d.
The Coral Springs Middle School
Naomi Phillips, Sara’s mom, is a seventh grade math teacher at Coral Springs Middle School. Students and fellow teachers missed Naomi’s smiling face day to day and soon found out why she was no longer around. As a compassionate and caring group, they decided to hold an event. The Funds from this night were given to the McRee House.

The Sara Phillips One-Legged Bar Hop
The Sara Phillips One-Legged Bar Hop was held on April 17, 2009. The event was an amazing success, with a 116 T-shirts sold, and tons of friends and family supporting Sara. Sara was in the hospital the entire week prior, but worked hard with her doctor to get better. At 3:30, just hours before the hop, Sara was released from the hospital! Many of her nurses and doctor’s bought shirts and in fact her favorite doctor and nurse attended! The entire bar was filled with her MSU law friends and Sara could not have been happier!
