Jerry DiTullio
Jerry DiTullio was one of the original founders of the Wheat Ridge Foundation. In partnership with the Wheat Ridge Rec Center, the Foundation was established to collect donations for memorial bricks at Discovery Park to support the purchase of art for public spaces. The Foundation's mission quickly expanded to include funding for city-wide events such as the Holiday Lighting Ceremony, Easter Egg Hunt and Performances in the Park as well as Parks, Forestry & Open Space including the Memorial Benches and Trees programs.
