RHS students eager to create Believe in Brooke Scholarship Fund, launch Catch the Gingerbread Man in downtown Ridgefield

Two Ridgefield High School students Tess Coakley and Lauren Uecker are spearheading a community event with the mission of raising funds to create a scholarship at RHS honoring their friend, Brooke Blake, who passed away in 2020. 

Come "Catch the Gingerbread Man" and help build the Believe in Brooke Scholarship fund.

Gingerbread houses are hidden all over stores on Main Street starting tomorrow, Friday, December 2 through December 20th.

Join the fun with a $5 donation to participate in the Gingerbread Hunt on Main Street. 

Tess says, "Stop by our table outside Craig’s Fine Jewelry on December 2nd and 3rd and enter the hunt. OR Venmo your donation and your contact info and we'll send you a link to the recipe hunt book."

Search around town for the houses in the local Ridgefield stores and have your "recipe book" stamped once you find a house.

All proceeds are being raised for the Believe in Brooke Scholarship fund.

Contact Tess at tqcoakley@icloud.com with any questions.

Follow Believe in Brooke on Facebook for updates.
