Lacrosse for Lauren Classic

Saturday, October 22nd was the perfect day for the Lacrosse for Lauren Classic. It was a pleasure to meet Coach Tumbas and the IU Lacrosse team members as well as many team supporters. Lauren played lacrosse until she was diagnosed with a heart condition. It was her favorite sport. While Lauren is a petite girl, she was fierce on the lacrosse field!

Our sincere thanks to Coach Tumbas and the entire IU Lacrosse Team for dedicating Saturday to Lauren.

With our sincere appreciation,
Rob and Charlene Spierer

Shine4Lauren

We would like to thank Indiana University, the IU student organizations, the City of Bloomington, Clayton Anderson, Dot Dot Dot, Brice Fox and Daniel Weber, Coach Crean, Matt Thiel and all of the participants who helped plan, implement and joined us for the Shine4Lauren Awareness event on Thursday, September 22, 2011. It was truly a student driven event with an energy, focus and caring that from its initial planning, amazed us. We knew from the beginning, we were in the good hands and warm hearts of so many who care about Lauren and our family.

Your willingness to stand in the chilling rain was a testament to your standing for Lauren. We will be forever grateful for your continued support. Our ultimate goal every day is to take one step closer to finding Lauren, one step closer to taking our dear girl home. As Rob said, the task is too large and the information provided so far has been too sparse. Please do what you can and be vigilant. We cannot do it alone. Thank you for being a huge part of our effort to obtain information about her disappearance and to find Lauren.

We continue our search.

With thanks and appreciation to so many,
Rob, Charlene and Rebecca Spierer

Within days of Lauren's disappearance, @NewsOnLaurenS was launched on Twitter. At the time, we barely knew what Twitter was. At the time we had never met the remarkable person responsible for spreading the news of Lauren's disappearance via Twitter. She is one of those rare individuals who took it upon herself to use her knowledge to help a family in need. Almost a year later, and after thousands of tweets, @NewsOnLaurenS continues to support us with dedication, determination and caring. We will be forever grateful.

Our sincere thanks to @NewsOnLaurenS and Malorie Janasek for creating http://findlauren.tumblr.com/, a photo project to raise awareness to #FindLauren and to all of you who have participated thus far.

Hoping today is the day….

How could a year have passed so quickly? Lauren, you are in our hearts every minute of every day. We remain committed to finding the answers, which will bring you home. We will never stop looking for you.
All our love always,

Consider the possibility that the person you are with today holds the key to unlock this mystery. Consider the possibility that the person you are with today is responsible for Lauren’s disappearance. Anything Small Could be Big. Make the call. Hoping today is the day.

9 weeks 2 days ago

Allentown, Pa. – (February 21, 2012) - The Muhlenberg College chapter of Alpha Chi Omega, Muhlenberg’s Active Minds and the Peer Health Advocates at Muhlenberg (PHAM) will sponsor “Self-Defense for Spierer” on March 19, 2012. This class is open to all women on campus and will be taught by officers from Campus Safety and a Health Center nurse. The cost to attend is $5 per person.

To this date, Spierer’s whereabouts are unknown.

‘Berg student Jocelyn Bibi ’14, the event’s organizer and a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, attended high school with Spierer.

All proceeds from this event will be sent to the fund to find Spierer. Representatives from the host organizations will be tabling for this event the week of March 12, 2012 in Seegers Union.
