Everyone who knew Brooke said the same thing... She had a different relationship with each of us, but to all she was a true, loyal friend — caring, compassionate, understanding, fun, energetic, beautiful inside and out, with a brilliant mind and a glowing smile.

Brooke’s Story and Legacy

Brooke had a photographic memory—with total recall—and was the person whom friends and family called when they couldn’t remember something. She was a perfectionist with herself but never with others. She tried to see the best in everyone and was always there for anyone lucky enough to be a part of her life.


Brooke was the fix-it person, shopping partner and best friend to her sister and she was also the one her brother quizzed on all sports statistics, becoming his little buddy. Brooke attended lectures and special events with her mom and matched wits with her dad, and was always available to help with a crossword puzzle.


To her friends, she was the person who got the inside joke, gave the best advice and was trusted enough to be a special

confidante. Although she was so many things to so many people, one thing everyone knew was that they could count on Brooke.


The most important people to Brooke were her family members and friends, whom she talked about incessantly. Brooke meant something very special and unique to all of us, and anyone touched by her in some way still carries a special piece of her inside of them.


Brooke’s family and friends all knew about Brooke’s love of books. She read constantly —when she got off the school bus, walking down the city streets, and as a child at camp when she was supposed to be sleeping.


The night before the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center, Brooke told her mother that there was more to life than making money. She planned to get her M.S.W. at Berkeley’s School of Social Work so that she could help disadvantaged children.


At only 23, with so much hope and promise, Brooke had her whole life in front of her wiped away. In an instant, our beautiful Brooke was taken from us.


Now Brooke’s family and friends do this for her and for all of the underserved children who never got the chance to have Brooke herself come into their lives.


Brooke Packs are backpacks filled with notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, rulers and other school supplies, given to underprivileged children. Each Brooke Pack is also filled with brand new,age- appropriate books.

OUR PROGRAMS

BROOKE PACKS

When kids start the school year with the supplies they need, they feel like they are entering school like their peers and they are more confident in class. That translates into their academics as well. When kids start the year prepared, they are on track to a successful school year.

This year, 5,000 underprivileged children in the New York area received Brooke Packs. We have given out over 30,000 Brooke Packs to date.
