Chris organized the 3rd Annual Peter French Memorial March Madness Pool, which was once again a big success. With half of everyone's entry fee going to the foundation and other donations along the way, the pool raised around $1,600 for the Peter French Memorial Foundation. A record number of people participated this year, so hopefully it will continue to grow each year. Thank you to everyone for participating!

Chris made "Cursed To First: The Playoff Ride of the 2004 Boston Red Sox," a 50-minute musical slideshow with photos and newspaper clippings detailing the magical World Series championship of our beloved Red Sox. All proceeds from the sales went to the Peter French Memorial Foundation. After selling over 200 DVD's and 20 CD's, roughly $3,000 was raised.
Van organized the 3rd Annual Peter French Memorial Golf Tournament, which was held again at the Jamestown Golf Course in Jamestown, Rhode Island. After a fun afternoon of "best ball" play, "Who's Your Caddie" (Ted Keenan, Dan Hennessy, Ned Burke, and Eric Poydar) came out on top of the nine-team tournament.
Chris organized the 2nd Annual Peter French Memorial March Madness Pool. An amazing 196 people participated in this year's pool, with Mike McDonough winning the $500 first place prize (Allison Abate, Chris Young, Zac Kraft, and Tim Chrystal rounded out the top 5 cash prizes). Just as last year, half of everyone's entry fee went to the winner's pool and the other half went to the Foundation. That total, along with many extra generous donations, allowed us to raise just under $2,000 for the Foundation.
The 2nd Annual Peter W. French Memorial Golf Tournament was held at the Jamestown Golf Course in Jamestown, Rhode Island, organized by Van. Fifteen teams of four participated in this "best ball" format of play, which was followed by a barbeque at the clubhouse. The golf may not have been too great, but the fun and fellowship made up for it.
Dean McClearn and Van organized the Stu 2 Booze Cruise, which was both a fundraiser for the Peter French Memorial Foundation and a great night out on Boston Harbor. A huge turnout of friends and supporters made it a fun and successful event.
Chris organized the 1st Annual Peter French Memorial March Madness Pool, in which 172 people participated in a pool/fundraiser. Each participant paid an entry fee and the total sum of the money was divided in half. Half the money went to the top 5 finishers in the pool and the other half was donated to the Peter French Memorial Foundation. Thanks to such an amazing response and overwhelming generosity, we were able to add around $1,500 to the fund. Chris hopes to carry on the success of this year's pool and make it a yearly tradition.
