Support TRAC

​

Jerry Sullivan Memorial Fund: On March 24, 2015, Jerry Sullivan, Director of CitySquare’s Transition Resource Action Center (TRAC), passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. The Jerry Sullivan Memorial Fund was created by Jerry's family as a way to let his legacy at CitySquare, and his passion for serving at-risk youth, live on.

​

 

In honor of Jerry's 50th birthday, his parents collected

groceries for the TRAC Food Pantry, along with donations

for the Memorial Fund. What an incredible tribute to Jerry

and his memory!
