WTC Brick Fundraiser

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the Middletown WTC Memorial Gardens Committee is raising funds to add a fountain called “The Rise of Hope” that will be erected near the end of the memorial pathway, giving a quiet space to pause and reflect.

They will also be installing two additional monuments that will be dedicated to the heroism and patriotism of our military and first responders, as well as memorialize our first responders lost from 9/11 illnesses. Please consider purchasing a personalized brick with your family name or a message that will be placed along the new walkway to enter the Memorial Gardens.
