The symbolic Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: Two forces pull away from each other which creates tension and 'red tapes'. We are cutting the 'red tape', unite our resources and become strong in the community.

The Torch Ceremony represents the 'Eternal Flame'. We lighten up a torch and pass on the flame. If we all are a part of passing on the fire, the World will be a better place, filled with light.


A Special 'Thank You' to Danny and the NYFD who gave us the honor with their presence!
