There is hope for others.
Through the hard work and dedication of family and friends, the memory of Brandon Graham and all the positives he brought into the world are treasured and remembered.
His life, the way he loved those around him and always sought out the best in himself and others, lives on.
Through the foundation they have launched in Brandon’s name, those closest to him are providing help for others who might consider taking their own lives.
The inspired work began with a highly successful luau fundraiser recently held at Coupeville’s Nordic Lodge, and will continue in the days, months, and years to come.
The Brandon Graham Foundation is sponsoring an appearance by a motivational speaker, who will meet with the youth of the community Sept. 14.
Details for that event, and a possible follow-up assembly that evening, are still being worked out.
Awash in the positivity of their opening fundraiser, organizers are taking a moment to thank the many people and businesses involved in making the luau a success.
From guest speakers Jennifer Marzocca and Tammy Joy to those who helped set up tables and auction items, to those running payment and t-shirt tables, all involved were invaluable.
