Upcoming Community Events!

Some people leave behind memories. Others leave a legacy so deeply woven into a community that their name becomes part of its story. 

Please join us as we come together to honor and remember the beautiful life and lasting legacy of Terri Cadet-Donald with the co-naming of a street in her memory.

Terri was truly a woman of community. She gave her time, her heart, and her energy to so many organizations and causes that made our neighborhoods stronger. Her commitment could be felt through her work with the Mill Basin Civic Association, District 22, Brooklyn Community Board 18, the 63rd Precinct Community Council, the Kings Plaza–Canarsie Kiwanis Club of Brooklyn, Mary Queen of Heaven Church, and, of course, our organizations Millennium Development and the Bergen Beach Youth Organization.

To those of us at Millennium Development and Bergen Beach Youth Organization, Terri was more than someone we worked alongside. She was part of our family. We witnessed firsthand how deeply she cared about people and how much of herself she gave to our children, families, seniors, and the community she was so proud to serve.

On Friday, October 16th at 5:30 PM, at East 53rd Street & Avenue L, we will have the privilege of gathering together with Terri’s family, along with her friends, neighbors, colleagues, community organizations, and community leaders, for this very special tribute.

Having Terri’s family there with us will make this moment even more meaningful. Together, we will surround them with the love of a community that remembers Terri, misses her, and remains grateful for everything she gave to so many.

And there is something incredibly special about knowing that long after this ceremony is over, people will pass this street and see Terri Cadet-Donald’s name. Those who knew her will remember her smile, her kindness, her friendship, and her dedication. Those who did not may stop and ask, “Who was Terri Cadet-Donald?”

And we will have the privilege of continuing to tell her story.

She was here. She cared. She served. She loved her family and her community. And she made a difference.

We hope everyone whose life was touched by Terri will join her family and all of us for this beautiful and historic moment. Let us fill that street with the people she loved and the community she spent so much of her life serving. 

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever part of the community she gave so much of herself to.

Please share and help us make this a beautiful celebration worthy of Terri and the legacy she leaves behind.
