The Ringfinnan Garden of Remembrance is a quiet labour of love, lovingly cared for and maintained to honour the memory of the 343 brave FDNY members. The garden remains open year-round with free entry for all visitors seeking a place of reflection and peace.
We do not actively request or rely on public funding. However, for those who express a personal wish to contribute towards long-term care and tree preservation, voluntary donations are accepted entirely at your discretion. Any such support helps ensure that this sanctuary remains a dignified, beautifully kept tribute for generations to come.
How your support helps:
We are deeply grateful to the individuals, community groups, and international organisations whose generosity sustains this sanctuary.
In August 2023, over 70 members of the FDNY Emerald Society Pipes and Drums visited Ringfinnan. They performed a stirring tribute alongside the Irish Defence Forces and generously donated €5,000 toward ongoing groundskeeping and tree care.
In September 2024, approximately 100 firefighters completed a grueling 225-mile charity cycle from Dublin to Ringfinnan. Their extraordinary efforts raised nearly $150,000 for 9/11-related health causes while honoring their fallen brothers.
Our deep gratitude goes to the local volunteers, tradespeople, and neighbours who donate their time, equipment, and labour year-round. From grass cutting to fence repairs, their dedication keeps the sanctuary open and serene.
