Camille was a Kindergarten teacher at Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic School in Detroit, and she was a staunch supporter of Catholic Schools. The John Robert Amat fund is an endowment that was established 9 years ago by the Amat family (very close friends of the Uryga Family in Kalamazoo), when their son John tragically drowned at the age of 4. The Fund provides a scholarship to welcome every new student as they enter St. Augustine Cathedral School (K-8). The Amat family sends each new students family a card with the story of Johnny, that he was looking forward to entering Kindergarten at St. A’s, but he died 2 weeks before school was to begin. In the spirit of the love that Johnny had for St. A’s, the Fund welcomes each new student and helps offset tuition costs with the scholarship. Camille's son Andrew has been on the fundraising board for the Fund, and Camille went to some of the annual fundraiser events that they have had over the years. She loved the concept of welcoming new students into the St. A’s community, and of supporting the mission of Catholic Schools.
