2011 Run for Fun
The Dennis P. McHugh Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was formed to honor
our beloved fallen firefighter Dennis P. McHugh (Engine 22 Ladder 13), who was
among the more than 2,800 brave rescue workers and civilians who perished as a
result of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
The foundation first focused its efforts by pledging $500,000 to the
construction of a new home for a local library.
Construction of the Dennis P.
McHugh Piermont Public Library began in the Spring of 2004 and was completed and
officially opened March 10, 2007.
In addition to naming the new building for Dennis McHugh, a memorial was placed
within the library to honor all those lost on September 11th. Following the
tragic events of that day, communities and people came together to support one
another and provide strength to each other and to those who were directly
affected.
The foundation hopes that the new library will provide a symbol to
that collective spirit and the positive power of community strength to overcome
adversity.
The foundation was established by the friends and family of Dennis to ensure
that his legacy lives on in as dignified a fashion as he lived his life. The
foundation chose the library as its project because Dennis was a firm believer
in the importance of education and regularly read to his children and took his
oldest daughter to the library as part of their routine.
Dennis’ wife Una McHugh hopes that through this project their children will see
that "Dennis’ spirit will continue to add happiness and strength to the
community where he grew up and started his own family."
The foundation is a recognized nonprofit public charity that has received its
501(c)(3) status, consequently all donations are tax deductible. Anyone
