Honoring 10 Years of TriCircle


As TriCircle prepares to celebrate its 10-year anniversary at our 8th Annual Gala Brunch on Sunday, July 26, 2026, we are embarking on a special history project to reflect on a decade of impact, growth, and community connection. This milestone is more than a celebration — it’s an opportunity to honor the people, partnerships, and perseverance that have shaped TriCircle into what it is today.


Over the years, many hands and hearts have taken part inTriCircle's evolution. It is a story worth telling, it is brimming with joy and sadness, with hope and despair, with love and fear, with healing but also with deep scars that will perhaps fade but never disappear.


A Decade of Impact


This history project is a love letter honoring TriCircle's “small but mighty army” of volunteers, board members, collaborators, and participants who have built and sustained something extraordinary over the past decade. Ten years of mission driven work, and we are just getting started!


As we look ahead to the next 10 years, we are grateful for every single person who had their sights on the mission, hands in the clay, feet on the ground, and hearts on the line.


Stay tuned as we continue counting down to July 26, 2026 — we can’t wait to celebrate with you.



Together WE are Stronger!

Bringing the Story to Life


This history project, has shaped how TriCircle’s story is told — translating complex milestones into meaningful, accessible content that reflects both heart and impact. This 10-year reflection will resonate with Connecticut communities and honor our decade of incredible impact.


Preserving the Past, Celebrating the Future


We have created a cohesive narrative that reflects TriCircle’s mission, growth, and lasting impact within the community. The goal is to ensure the story is not only historically accurate, but engaging and accessible to a broad audience as we look to the future and celebrate what is yet to come.


Together WE are Stronger!
