Keeping Up With The Environment in Becca's Memory

Saturday, June 4, two years after our beloved Rebecca's white water rafting accident, close to thirty five family members and friends came together to do something she truly enjoyed doing. And that is making this earth a better place. We removed and cleared invasive plants behind the Spot Pond Visitors Center at 4 Woodland Road in Stoneham, MA. Using saws, shears, cutters and muscles, we accomplished so much in two hours! Mark, the DCR representative and Jeff, the Friends of the Fells representative were astonished at the the difference in the landscape. Mark commented that "now this looks more like a backyard!" We know that Becca was with us and very proud of our hard work.

2nd Annual LiveLikeBecca Scholarship Fundraiser November 7, 2015

Rachel Timmons and Lilah Rossi along with several of Becca's family and friends pulled off another successful event at the Moose Lodge in Malden.  Due to the generosity of so many, we had more raffle and silent auction items, more monetary donations and more people attending than last year! AND we raised $22,000.00!!! Rebecca's spirit just keeps growing!

Happy Birthday Rebecca!

Saturday June 13, 2015, (what would have been Rebecca's 28th birthday) was spent the Boston Pride Parade! Love, Acceptance and Equality are some virtues that Rebecca believed in and emulated throughout her life! It was great to see old friends, and make new friends. Happy Pride Day! #LiveLikeBecca!

Continuing Rebecca's Legacy!

Creating a "greener" planet was something that Rebecca worked for in all aspects of her life. In continuing Rebecca's legacy, on Saturday June 6, 2015 a group of Rebecca's family and friends joined the "Friends of the Fells" organization in cleaning up a trail. This act of dedication to a cleaner earth and enjoying the outdoors is truly something that Rebecca had a passion for!

 

Thank you to all those who dedicated their day to Rebecca's memory! #LiveLikeBecca!

awards alongside Co-Founders Rachel Timmons and Lilah Rossi.

On June 2, 2015, almost a whole year after losing our beloved Rebecca, the #LiveLikeBecca Scholarship Committee attended the Malden High School Scholarship Night where we gave out three $1,000 scholarships to deserving seniors heading off to college. It was a bittersweet night, but overall it was humbling to see how Rebecca's legacy will live on through these three young adults who are going to contribute to the world, making it a better place. We are extremely proud of our recipients and wish them the best in their future endeavors as they continue to #LiveLikeBecca!

First Annual Live Like Becca Scholarship Night!

Hello Everybody! As the First Annual LiveLikeBecca Scholarship Night has come to an end, I just wanted to recap the events of this past weekend!

The Malden Moose was almost full to capacity and it was amazing to see just how many people Rebecca has impacted! The raffles and silent auctions were a huge success as smiles and laughter filled the room! Many people walked away from prizes such as Patriot tickets, Gift Certificates to restaurants in the area and hand made baskets donated to us.

From the raffles, silent auction, t-shirt sales, and outside donations the first annual LiveLikeBecca scholarship fund made $9,480!! This does not include ticket sales and other donations we received before the night.

I just wanted to recognize the people who made this event possible. First of all Rachel Timmons and Lilah Rossi for planning and organizing the event. Also, there are so many people that gave their all to make this event as successful as it was- Just some of these people include, The Lopresti Family, The Martin Family, The Timmons Family, and The Rossi Family. Thank you also to those who gave their Thursday nights to help brainstorm ideas and show their continuous dedication to the cause. Lastly, a huge recognition towards The Chuha Family and The Knight Family for all they have done and for opening their hearts to us! 

Love, Support and Community was every where this past weekend, and I know that Rebecca was looking down on us, showing that HUGE smile!

I will keep you all posted on future fundraising events, as we will make sure the spirit of Rebecca Knight lives on forever!

Until next time!
