Great ideas can come from the most unusual places. And, in the case of Cranston Cares, it was three lifelong friends sitting around talking.
Adam DeCiccio, Ed Brady and Justin Erickson wanted to find a way of implementing Adam’s life motto of “Deeds not Words” into action throughout the Cranston Community.
Brady and Erickson became fast friends on Speck Field where they played little league, at nine years of age. DeCiccio joined their gang at Western Hills, since he was a year older.
“We were always taking about how we can start giving back to Cranston,” said Erickson, the current President of Cranston Cares, Inc.
When Adam passed away in December of 2020, Brady and Erickson knew they had to step up and keep Adam’s dream alive.
Cranston Cares, is a 501c-3 organization that through donations, fundraising and creativity, provide equitable improvements throughout the Cranston community.
