The 2nd Annual RedStrong blood drive will be held at Our Lady of the Lake Church on Saturday,  November 26th from 8:30-4:30.  Last years drive was an amazing success thanks to Lauren Sciacca, a former field hockey player of my Mom’s.  She is an incredible, miracle woman who puts her heart and soul into everything. Recently,  she has found herself battling for her life, and RedStrong would like to help.  Please come to support our friend Lauren and so many others in dyer need of blood.  Save the date to donate and save a life because you just NEVER know!  We also ask for you to just Pray. You can visit Lauren’s Love Fund to help her with medical costs.

A Mass for Richie will be held at Our Lady of the Lake on Saturday the 15th at 5:00pm

 

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.

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 22^nd, 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!
