W21 in collaboration with friends will be moving the dedicated metal Heart Sculpture made in memory of the lives of Rose Simmons, Julian Martinez, Kate Klein, and Alyssa Trouw to the back yard area of W21, the selected permanent memorial site. The loss of these special Santa Fe teenagers in a fatal car accident on Old Las Vegas Highway in 2009 are highly missed. The memorial site is a signature area to remind people of all ages to not drink and drive.

In 2009, a musical collection entitled “The Heart of Santa Fe” featuring established musicians from Santa Fe will be complimentary gifts at this event. Renowned musicians David Manzanares and Chris McCarty initiated a musical movement by writing a song “Anything To See Them Again” that was produced at Stepbridge Studios as a tribute to the teenagers. Other notable Santa Fe-based artists involved in this recording include Ramon Bermudez, Lydia Clark, Mark Clark, Jack Clift, Susan Holmes, Pat Malone, Busy McCarroll and Jeff Nelson. Edgard Rivera and Andrew Click, producers and owners of Stepbridge Studios, also donated the use of the studio and engineered the first record.

Other Santa Fe's musicians, singers and composers contributed songs that comprise a twenty eight song, double album set. The combination of musical styles include in this CD consists of Latin, Rock, Folk, Blues and Jazz.

Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, the sponsor of this dual CD states: “With our St. Vincent Hospital Foundation, we have sponsored this CD because of its heartfelt tribute, and because the profits benefit the families as well as treatment, education and prevention efforts. Let’s help each other never start the bad habits and dependencies our society has encouraged for so long. And let’s help people showing early signs of binge drinking, self-medicating and recreational drug use from moving toward the slippery slope of dependency, so that we can all live fearlessly.” For information, contact Ana G y Reinhardt at 989-4423 (ext 4).
