If you spent any time with Katie in Brooklyn, chances are you shared moments in her favorite place - Prospect Park. Whether she was walking the three-mile loop with her dog Roofus, lounging on the grass, enjoying a picnic, or watching the ducks, the park was a special part of her daily life.

As a lasting tribute, we are dedicating a bench in her honor. We hope it will become a place of remembrance and connection, a spot where we can find comfort in a place she cherished.

Thank you so much for your incredible support. With your help, we raised the funds for Katie's commemorative bench in just two days. Once we have the final details, we'll share an update here, including the location and estimated installation date.

Any additional contributions will be donated to the Prospect Park Alliance and True North Rescue, where Katie found her beloved dog, Roofus.

You can send donations to Emily Hovis via Venmo (@emhovis). If you have questions or need to send your donation in an alternative manner, please contact Emily at emhovis@gmail.com.

Thank you for helping us create a tribute that will preserve her memory. We will never forget your generosity.
