Garden of Hope and Remembrance Dedication

Over 100 friends, family and supporters of the Katie DeCubellis Memorial Foundation gathered yesterday at Christofaro Park in Narragansett, RI to celebrate the dedication of The Garden of Hope and Remembrance.  Over the past five years, supporters of the project have volunteered their time and talent to building this memorial.  The garden is centrally located in the park and overlooks the various ball fields and tennis / basketball courts.  The garden features a sitting area with a metallic recreation of the "Sunshine" image Katie created.  The Providence Journal was on-hand for the dedication and captured some of the day's events.   Click here to see the video.

Bricks that line the walls and walkway are engraved with messages of hope and remembrance from supports of the organization.  If you would like more information on the memorial or would like to purchase a brick to support the project, please click here.
