RIVER EDGE 9/11 MEMORIAL DONATION

The Borough of River Edge lost five residents in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The borough constructed a First Responder’s Memorial outside of the Borough Hall in remembrance of all first responders that were at Ground Zero that day and the many days after September 11, 2001. The dedication was held on September 11th and was attended by many residents, friends, family and volunteers.

Members of the River Edge police, fire, volunteer ambulance corps and the DPW traveled to New York City to retrieve a steel I-beam from the World Trade Center that was donated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The memorial was completely funded through donations and the PBA and was designed and constructed by Let It Grow, Inc. The I-beam is attached to a piece of steel that is buried three feet down in concrete and bolted down. It runs vertically to display a cut out cross which was created in the beam when workers at Ground Zero removed pieces for victim’s families.

Let It Grow, Inc. was proud to support the efforts of the Borough of River Edge to honor the memory of those who lost their lives during the 9/11 attacks; and the efforts of all the heroes at Ground Zero.

On September 10, 2011, Let It Grow proudly celebrated its 25th anniversary, holding its annual benefit concert to raise funds for those in need. The theme of the benefit was” A Tribute to Watkins Glen” – a 1973 rock festival featuring the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, and The Band.  In the spirit of that great event, over 450 people came to River Edge, NJ to enjoy live music, food, and fun for all ages. This year’s benefit helped 25-year River Edge resident Sam Nugent who is battling Lou Gehrig’s disease, and Brenna Lowry Hasselmann, an 11-year old girl from Warwick, NY who needs a lung transplant.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

 

LET IT GROW’S MISSION TRIP IN CUAPA, NICARAGUA

 

This past summer, Let It Grow had an opportunity to give back to the global community by going on a mission trip to a small town in Cuapa, Nicaragua. The 7 day trip was primarily a medical mission trip to assist the town with basic medical, dental, and health needs. Shortly after administering medical assistance, we realized we could also help in other ways and put our construction skills to good use for the people of this small town.

 

As we walked into the church the first night, we saw a steep hill made up of dirt and rocks leading into the church building. This made it very unsafe for a lot of the people to get up to the church. The next day we saw some large stone blocks at one man’s house who was a member of this church. Once we saw these stones, the idea of building a set of stairs sparked — what if we could build a set of stairs to aid these people? We got to work knocking out the dirt and putting up a brand new set of stairs.

 

When it was completed, the people of the town were very grateful for these new steps. Let It Grow was equally grateful to give back to a worldwide community that is in need.
