Gianna's 13th Birthday
Gianna's first birthday in Heaven.
Her loving family and friends honored her beautiful spirit on Earth throughout their highly supportive community.
Gianna was honored with:
- the unveiling of her dedicated "Buddy Bench" in the PS 222 schoolyard,
- two separate ceremonies for the aforementioned "Buddy Bench" featuring speeches and appearances from teachers, administrative school staff, her priest, and local politicians,
- custom-designed t-shirts (showcasing a drawing of G's) that the community wore on her birthday and every Tuesday thereafter,
- a timed release of hundreds of biodegradable balloon messages outside of her dance studio Dance WIth Me,
- a block celebration complete with DJ, memorial mementos and speeches,
- a beautiful butterfly release,
- and outstanding dance tribute performances from her former competition team members.
It was an honor fit for a Queen. A Dancing Queen. Queen Gianna Gambino.
Thank You To All Who Attended Our First Event!
On Thursday, September 16th, The Brooklyn Cyclones dedicated a game to our precious Gianna.
Hundreds of our friends and family attended to support and witness a special pre-game ceremony and other special tie-ins including the legendary, world-famous parachute jump being lit up with her name!
This was a night to remember
and we are grateful for the celebration.
Pictures and videos coming soon!
