Quigley joined with a number of local northern Manhattan elected officials, including New York State Assemblymember Robert Rodriguez and New York City Councilmember Melissa Mark - Viverito, community leaders such as Department of Youth and Community Development's Commissioner Jeanne B. Mullgrav and Supportive Children's Advocacy Network (SCAN)'s Executive Director Lewis Zuchman, and a host of residents,
including local schoolchildren, for the center's unveiling in a late afternoon reception.
These
include the much beloved fountains in Ghirardelli Square (1968) and outside the Grand Hyatt San Francisco (1973), the latter of which comprises hundreds of clay images molded by
local schoolchildren, friends, and other artists cast in bronze.
