Richard M. Keane, a beloved resident of Wethersfield, CT, a cherished husband, a devoted father, grandfather, and father-in-law, a lay minister at Sacred Heart Church, an avid gardener, and a wonderful friend to all who knew him, was a victim of the September 11th, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. More...

The Richard M. Keane Foundation was established to honor the memory of "Dick" Keane and to raise funds to provide a community center for the people of Connecticut. The Foundation has ambitious goals and we need your help to reach them.

In October, 2006, Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell visited the future site of the "9/ll Memorial Sports Center" within the Wethersfield Community Center and offered her generous assistance...

 

On May 23, 2008, the Keane Foundation was honored when it was allowed to actually acquire two pieces of twisted steel from the tragic, collapsed World Trade Center, where three Wethersfield residents lost their lives. (Please refer to our Spring 2008 Newsletter Pg.5 for an account of the initial visit to Hanger 17 at JFK Airport in New York.)

On May 24, these two pieces were presented to the awestruck Wethersfield public and guests during the Memorial Day Parade in Old Wethersfield. Both are now installed, one within and and one erected outside at the recently completed, dedicated and opened "9/11 Memorial Sports Center" on Thursday, September 11, 2008. Please stop by the Pitkin Community Center to visit the Center, at 30 Greenfield Street, Wethersfield, CT, and learn about the programs which are available at the 9/11 Center.
