Standing in Power: Andrew Joseph III 10 Year Memorial Dinner (Diamond & Sneakers themed)

Diamond and Sneakers Theme!

Join us for dinner and a show as we honor the memory of Andrew Joseph III, 10 years after he was tragically killed while attending the fairgrounds on Student Day. While most of us know the tragedy related to Andrew, it is important to remember who Andrew was when he was alive. He was a kind, agile soul who was thought of as a big brother to the neighborhood children. He was ambitious and believed in community and family. Everyday, Andrew's parents, sister, grandparents, classmates, and teachers miss the impact of Andrew's smile, laughter, and sense of togetherness.

The pain does not get easier, but over the years, you see the smiling faces of community members who held you through it all. We recall the words of encouragement when we wanted to give up, we look at the families who have reached out to us for help. We have been there and we have created tools that did not exist when we had our loss.
