Ribbons for Remembrance

Posted

Despite the rain’s best efforts to scuttle their event, supporters and friends of the Bristol Health Equity Zone and the Matthew Patton Foundation successfully set up their “Ribbons for Remembrance” installation, adjacent to the bike path at Asylum Road, in the driving rain last Friday. The installation features 120 ribbons, meant to represent the roughly 120 Rhode Islanders who die by suicide each year.
