A Special Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is a three-dimensional bas-relief cast bronze tree trunk with 279 leaves. It is located just inside the Center for Cancer Care entrance at 200 Kennedy Drive in Torrington, Connecticut.
The Tree of Life was a gift from the family of Dr. Eugene Grazia who was a local dentist, an avid gardener, and a patient at the Cancer Center. Each leaf may be inscribed with a name in honor or memory of a family member, friend, or colleague.
Leaves may be purchased to celebrate a significant date or to honor the loss of a loved one. Funds raised through the sale of leaves will be used to assist and support cancer patients residing or receiving care in northwest Connecticut. The cost of each leaf is $500. For further information, please call 860-489-6718.
