Dear Friend of RAMP,

We are sorry to announce Steve Shannon, has resigned from his role with RAMP, due to personal reasons. We appreciate what Steve accomplished in his brief tenure as President and regret he will not be able to continue with us.

We look forward to your continued support.

Sad News

Dear Friends of RAMP,

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Gerry Gannon, one of RAMP's co-founders.  His work and compassion touched countless lives and his example and leadership has inspired many to serve others as he did.  He will be greatly missed. 

A Memorial Mass for Gerry will be held on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at 10:00am at St. Vincent Martyr Church, 26 Green Village Road, Madison. For those who are not able to attend the Mass, it will be live-streamed on the Church's website (https://svmnj.org/.)
