Carrying on Gracie’s pure, joyous spirit will be at the center of our work. Through Gracie’s Giving Project, we will engage in multiple projects throughout the year, including:

The beautification of playgrounds & play spaces

Various book drives & toy drives throughout the back to school & holiday seasons

Partnerships with local children’s hospitals to deliver joy across pediatric care

Setting up annual childrens’ events throughout Denver that bring the community together & deliver that joy that Gracie had everyday

Sponsoring grants for local organizations with a similar mindset

Establishing a soccer scholarship in Gracie’s name

And so much more to come!

The other arm of Gracie’s Giving Project will focus on advocacy around pedestrian safety. Our goal is to ensure that streets are a safe place for children to navigate. Our advocacy and awareness projects will include:

Being advocates for safe streets in Boston and Denver. This includes pushing for safe crosswalks, more stop signs, removal of blind spots for drivers, and providing positions on safe street designs that are conducive to walking and biking.

Creating beautiful spaces that make street crossings attractive and fun for pedestrians. This includes painting crosswalks and bike corales in bright colors & patterns and planting flowers at street corners.

Partnering with key local organizations that advocate for safe streets to double up our efforts and broaden our reach

Speaking at engagements, local government meetings and other forums on behalf of our daughter, Gracie, and all children to ensure that proper safety measures are taken in all communities.
