Peters Memorial Fund

On Friday, April 12, 2024 the Lake City Chamber of Commerce met at Lake City Federal Bank, a future branch of Forward Bank. As a part of their Catalyst Membership with the chamber, Lake City Federal Bank, a future branch of Forward Bank was able to gift a membership to a local non profit organization. Lake City Federal Bank chose to gift this membership to Peters Memorial Fund.

The Peters Memorial Fund was created to honor Sawyer and Tessica Peters. Sawyer was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder when he was 8 months old. Tessica was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer in May of 2018. After they fought fiercely and courageously for years, Sawyer passed away on March 5th, 2019 at the age of 3. Tessica lost her battle to breast cancer and joined Sawyer in heaven on March 25th, 2019 at the age of 36. The love they shared with us will not be forgotten.  

In Tessica and Sawyer's honor, we donate all proceeds from events, donations, and sales of ‘Spread Love’ apparel to families in need in local communities and hospitals.
