Come join us as we honor, cherish, and preserve the memories of those twenty children and six adults who lost their lives on December 14th, 2012. This event will be a tribute to them in a fun and meaningful way through some physically and mentally demanding work that will bring us closer together as friends, family, and a community. All net proceeds from this event will be donated to the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation.
