The community still puts on a fundraiser at the memorial garden - something they couldn't do last year because of the pandemic. All proceeds from the Reflection Garden on Tap fundraiser help with the cost of memorial maintenance and support a mission to advocate for the long-term healing of survivors and communities impacted by mass tragedy, according to the 7/20 Memorial Foundation. The foundation is made up of victims' family members and survivors of the Aurora theater shooting.
