Let’s Show Our Support This Sunday!

John is an incredible person who means so much to the Foundation. He has always stood by Team Devin—from playing at Devin’s services to being with us at Purple Peaks in New Hampshire, John has been there during our most vulnerable moments.

Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

Let’s pack the winery this Sunday in his honor. The Foundation will be providing a Charcuterie Board for all those in attendance.

Stappa Vineyards, Orange, CT

2:00pm to 4:30 pm

This is a free event, and we’d love to see as many of you there as possible. Please let us know if you’re planning to attend so we can plan accordingly.

Thank you for being part of this amazing community.

Team Devin will be decorating a trailer in the Tractor Parade this year thanks to the kindness and generosity of Buttermilk Lane Farm and Mr. and Mrs. Holden!! Come out to support the entire town, all of the awesome participants, Buttermilk Lane Farm and DHMF!! See you there!! #TeamDevin
