Brigit’s Garden at Livingston Park

Status

Dedication Set for June 3, 2023

The Brigit A. Feeney Foundation for Hope and Healing is proud to announce that Brigit’s Garden has been completed! Brigit’s Garden, a public garden within Livingston Park in the City of Manchester was the Foundation’s inaugural project.  It was funded by donations from the family and friends of Brigit A. Feeney, a Victim and Witness Advocate with the NH Department of Justice, who died in a motorcycle accident in 2021. The Foundation’s mission is to increase recognition and support for professional Victim Witness Advocates. 

During the past year, with over $100,000 in donations, with the collaboration of many contractors and contributors, the Garden is in full bloom. The dedication is set for June 3, 2023.   

Almost a year ago, Mayor Joyce Craig commented, “The collaboration between the Brigit A. Feeney Foundation and the City is a true testament to the benefit of public-private partnerships; Brigit’s unwavering support for victims and their families has made a lasting impact on our community. This garden will serve as a fitting tribute to honor her life and legacy as well as provide a beautiful public space for the whole community to enjoy.”

The Brigit A. Feeney Foundation is a public charity incorporated in New Hampshire and is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code.
