Our 3rd annual (outdoor) gathering was once again full of love, healing and connection. Special thanks to Brandi Rose Lentini https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_I-7vtU2UyI46UMZJA56mA for gifting us with your amazing musical talent. Her passion for Life and genuine understanding of the emotional/mental struggles and challenges of Youth came through every song sang on this special Remembrance night.

Dance, celebrate life and connect.

Our dance-a-thon was postponed due to COVID-19 and staying safe took priority. However, stay tuned as we plan for our first annual Dance-a-Thon.

Our 2nd Remembrance took place via Zoom. Despite having to meet virtually this year, we felt connected, inspired and continued to heal. Thank you to all who joined us. Special thanks to Gino Walker for once again sharing your beautiful voice with us and to David Hall (substance abuse counselor with CADA) for sharing your story of struggle, detours and triumph, very inspirational to both the Youth and adults who joined us.

Staying home and staying safe  necessitated our cancellation of our 1st fundraiser but stay tuned as we reschedule and move forward.

Andrew's one year Remembrance was a beautiful, heartfelt and bittersweet night of tears, sharing, music, humor, healing and connection. Amazing to see so many friends, peers and family join to remember Andrew and our promise to him.

Special thanks to the lovely and talented Gino Walker for gifting us with your amazing and healing voice.
