Patrick's Memorial Service - DETAILS

A memorial service for Patrick Kirk will be held Saturday, September 24 at 11am at Harleigh Cemetery, 1640 Haddon Ave, Camden, NJ 08103. A reception will follow.

Afterwards there will be a celebration of Patrick's life in Center City Philadelphia. Sadly, Woody's is unavailable due to a scheduling conflict. We are working to secure a new location and details will follow in a seperate post.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Patrick's name to The Attic Youth Center in Philadelphia.

The Attic Youth Center is Philadelphia’s only agency exclusively serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (l/g/b/t/q) youth. Since our inception in 1993, The Attic has grown from a weekly support group in the attic of Voyage House into a comprehensive youth service agency.

The youth-run community center now serves over 600 youth each month while our outreach programs, including the James H. Bryson Institute of The Attic Youth Center, have affected the lives of many thousands within the five county region.

The Attic Youth Center seeks to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment, where youth can share concerns about school, family, and friends, be themselves and take a step from loneliness, secrecy, and self-doubt into participation, belonging, and self-confidence.

By encouraging and supporting a process for youth leadership, The Attic validates the efforts of l/g/b/t/q youth to develop personal responsibility for their lives and communities. The Attic’s vision is one of inclusion where all individuals are valued and respected — a community where all young people have access to the resources they need to grow into healthy, independent, productive community members.
