7th annual Porter Family Memorial Golf Tournament
The 7th annual Porter Family Memorial Golf tournament was held on June 29, 2016 at Bay Point golf course in Onset, MA.. Rick, Jonathan, and Nate won the tournament with a little help from above shooting -12. Maura is Richie’s Bentley golf coach Mickey’s best friend as well as the team ‘Mom’. Joe and Maura are also two of Richie’s biggest fans! Proceeds from the tournament went to Dana Farber in Richie Powers name. Thank you to all this years participants. 
#Red Strong
A big thank you to the RedStrong softball team for honoring Richie every time they play. This softball team meant so much to him. It allowed him to be “normal” when he played. It allowed him to be with his buddies which was always important to him. Playing allowed him to compete, something he so very much loved. He played all the time despite how he felt. I can see him shaking his head in modesty smiling at me when I brag about the homerun he hit, or the fact that he seemed to always get on base. He NEVER gave up. In their last game, he didn’t get out of bed all day but somehow went to the game to support and maybe get a chance to pinch hit. They struggled hitting that game, but started to rally in the last inning. Richie came in to pinch hit and drove in two runs. In that moment tears filled up in my eyes. I was so incredibly proud and simply amazed. ‘Young Money’ fell short that night, but they remember and are determined to win it this year as #RedStrong. They are wearing black arm bands that say 9 RED. Good luck this season- may you have ‘Angels In The Outfield’ 🙂

Leominster’s ‘Power Source’: Coming through for the Powers’
Love that SMILE!
We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Power Source Training Center for their support. They graciously hosted a day full of ‘soccer tennis’ fun that raised over 700$ for the RedStrong Foundation. On April 22nd, Jim Herrick and his students gathered for a fantastic Friday of tournament play with Athens Pizza and classic sports movies. One of Richie’s all time favorites—Happy Gilmore. One of the things on Richie’s list was that James continues to train at Power Source, exemplifying their mindset, mission, and core values. To anyone who contradicted his wishes: Richie would simply say, “Now you’re gonna get it Bobby”. 🙂 Also a story of kindness worth sharing: At this event there was a 50/50 raffle. The winners: A Mom and a Dad and two sweet girls who all took a vote, and decided to donate the money to the cause. So THANK YOU to Power Source Training Center for creating a community of great people who genuinely enjoy helping others achieve! We cannot say how grateful we are to have such an amazing community behind us! GO POWER SOURCE!
Missing You
