OF THE FOUNDATION
Jimmy
Gahan was born
on April 15, 1981
at
4:02 am
at
Cape Cod Hospital and died February 20, 2003, a victim
of the Station Night Club fire in West Warwick,
RI.
From those early terrible days
following the Station Night Club fire in February 2003,
Carol and I made a promise to create something positive,
beneficial and lasting.
The time and energy that would have been devoted
to supporting Jimmy in his life endeavors will now be
used to give a helping hand to countless numbers of
young people through the Jimmy Gahan Charitable
Foundation.
All expenses relating to the
operation of the foundation will be paid by Carol and me
to insure that 100% of all funds raised will
be used for scholarships, gifts to various youth
activities and building endowments that
will continue to give gifts to our youth in perpetuity.

Report.
So far we have raised, with your help, close to
$230,000 for scholarships and gifts to youth sports and
youth activities in several communities including
Falmouth, Bourne, Mashpee & Dudley, Massachusetts.

We are more than
three-quarters of the way to
establishing 3 permanent endowments with a successful
fundraiser this year, so that
the work of the Jimmy Gahan Charitable Foundation can continue
throughout the forseeable future.
