East Greenwich Community Leader: Dana Gee 'Dedicated Countless Hours' To Schools

EAST GREENWICH, RI — Without community leaders, East Greenwich wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Deanna Sheridan, an East Greenwich reader who nominated Dana Gee.

How do you know this community leader?

What does this community leader do?

Volunteers and leads up many programs in and at the schools

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

Dana has dedicated countless hours enriching our community’s children and young adults through social, extracurricular and athletic programs. These programs have enriched our young population in their mind body spirit as well as keeping them safe, bringing them together as an inclusive community and helping to find new passions.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

She is a woman with endless energy who takes pride in her community as a whole. She is determined and always sees a project to the end. If you live in East Greenwich with school age or just post school age children then you know or have heard of Dana Gee. And if you have had the opportunity to work on a volunteer project with her then you know how passionate she is, and you are lucky to have work, laughed and help enrich the community with her.

This content is brought to our community in partnership with T-Mobile.
