Tess Coakley, a student at RHS, has announced the “Brooke’s Blossoms” fundraiser for the Believe in Brooke scholarship fund. In memory of Ridgefield resident Brooke Blake who passed away in 2020 at the age of 12 after a battle with a rare form of brain cancer.
You can choose from different pink flower options (Astible pink, Coneflower, and Peonies) and Tess, along with students from RHS, will plant them in your yard in May.
Place your order by emailing BIBScholarshipFund@gmail.com with your flower choice. You will then receive an email with payment instructions.
“We are hoping to spread kindness by planting these flowers and bring joy to our community,” she explains.
Did you know? A few days ago, Brooke’s bench was moved to a prominent spot at Deborah Ann’s Sweet Shoppe and its plaque was unveiled in front of community members. To view photos of the special event, visit Believe in Brooke on Facebook.
