Celebrating Jenna Burlington VT Event

September 23, 2011 Burlington Vermont

On Friday September 23, 2011 Jenna’s friends in the Burlington Vermont area held their first annual event to celebrate the wonderful life of Jenna. The event was held at the Firehouse Gallery of the Burlington Arts Center on Church Street.  Over 100 friends celebrated and raised money on behalf of Jenna’s foundation: The One Angel Foundation.

Friends enjoyed food, drink and the music of The Cheddar Band, a local funk band. Hundreds of photos highlighting and celebrating Jenna’s life especially during her time at St Michael’s was featured every where.

One of Jenna’s aunts who attended the event put it perfectly

“As we moved thru the rooms, you noticed that there was a very loving warm vibe permeating the crowd - as much as an event like this can bring on tremendous sadness for it's taking place to begin with - this was a true celebration of a life lived.  Organized by some of her dearest friends that she made while a student at St. Michael's, this was a gathering of people who both knew Jenna - but also knew of her.  What touched me was that the core group of girls, who sponsored the event, were in turn so touched by their friends who came, understanding how much of a positive and caring person Jenna was just by word of mouth.  It moved all of us who came up from MA to see how her friends continue to embrace her still.”

A wonderful tribute to a beautiful girl
