In Memory of Laurie Vardi
1999-2023
Following the tragic events of October 7th, Dio Tree joined the "Next October" initiative, a visionary project harnessing Israeli innovation to honor those who lost their lives in the October 2023 Hamas War. As members of the Western civilized world, we believe that the best response to terror is to foster growth and progress. In this spirit, we decided to commemorate Laurie Vardi, whose spirit aligns perfectly with Dio Tree's vision. Laurie was a young woman, self-taught and endlessly optimistic, always challenging herself throughout her life. It felt natural to honor her memory.
