We will hold the 2009 Thomas M. Brennan Annual Memorial Golf Tournament on September 25, 2009 at Pinehills Country Club.

March 2009

The Thomas M. Brennan Memorial Foundation enjoyed another record year of operating performance in 2008. You generously responded to our request for assistance by supporting our annual golf outing with sponsorships and auction participation that significantly outperformed all prior years. Thank you.

Last year, we awarded our fifth, four-year partial scholarship to Thomas Warns of Massapequa, New York. Tom joins fellow Boston College students Christina Carney of Staten Island, New York (BC ‘09), Jillian Burdziak of Ridley Park, Pennsylvania (BC ’10), and John Scola of Fairfield, Connecticut (BC ’11) as a Thomas M. Brennan Memorial Scholar. Thanks to your unfailing generosity, we increased the annual scholar grant amount for each of these students. Our first scholarship recipient, Steve Marconi of Oradell, New Jersey, graduated from Boston College in 2008 and is currently working in the financial industry in New York. Steve has also accepted our invitation to join the Foundation's Scholarship Committee.

We are proud of the Foundation’s impact on the lives of these impressive young men and women. Moreover, as we contemplate the heartbreaking events that precipitated the founding of TMBMF, we are cognizant of the fundamental messages unequivocally manifest in our success: hope rises from tragedy; generosity can prevail over cruelty; and love will always triumph over hate.

On September 25, 2009, we will host The Seventh Annual Thomas M. Brennan Memorial Golf Tournament, at Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth, Massachusetts; we hope that will join us. Given the last several months of economic turmoil, and the uncertainty ahead, we recognize that there will be many challenges to overcome in 2009 and beyond. Regardless of the economic climate, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide financial assistance to those in need.

Thank you again for your continued support and for helping us honor the memory of Tom Brennan by lending a helping hand to others.

Ever to Excel,

The Board of Directors
The Thomas M. Brennan Memorial Foundation
