Livello in Coral Springs welcomed a sold-out crowd for its Building Their Legacy Brunch, a fundraiser supporting the planned memorial to the 17 victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.

The school’s Class of 1994 presented a $2,000 check for the memorial planned within a 150-acre preserve bordering Coral Springs and Parkland.

Livello owner and chef Bruno Silva led the four-course event. The program included personal tributes honoring the students and staff members killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, 2018.

Parkland 17 Memorial Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Florida not-for-profit corporation established to build the official public Memorial to the victims of the Parkland massacre.
