Events for Families

The Joshua Frase Foundation Muscle Dream Team Gala, originally planned for Thursday, April 1, 2010, will be rescheduled. The event will be held at the Boston Harbor Hotel and will honor long time supporter, Michael Schlow, chef, restaurateur, author, and James Beard award winner, well known for his Radius, Via Matta and Alta Strada restaurants.

If you are already considering sponsoring this event, or have purchased tickets already, please call KMC Productions at 781-356-6616. All commitments will be honored at the up coming event unless you choose otherwise. For sponsorship and ticket information, please visit: http://www.joshuafrase.org/events/sponsorship.php

Over the last 12 years, JFF and the JFF Muscle Dream Team have funded extensive research at Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School and Wake Forest Institute to help children suffering with neuromuscular disorders. This research has already made life saving medical advances that will help thousands of children, while also finding treatments and cures for many degenerative illnesses that could impact any of us and our loved ones. In fact, the work being done is so impressive that JFF researchers were recently featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show with Dr. Oz.

This is an incredible event, with a long standing history, that has allowed for major scientific breakthroughs in medicine that we hope will save the lives of thousands of children with neuromuscular disorders. We continue to need your help and hope you will join us at this year’s event once we announce our new date.

Thank you, as always, for your generous support of the Joshua Frase Foundation.

Please look out for the announcement of the new date in the next month or two!

 

4th Annual Joshua Frase Foundation Golf Tournament

Thursday, July 16, 2009

DERRY, NH – For the fourth year in a row, Ferdinando Insurance has lead a long list of sponsors in raising money for the Joshua Frase Foundation.

Having been involved from the inception of JFF and its annual gala, Keith Ferdinando four years ago worked to start a golf tournament amongst friends and clients to support the cause on the links. The first two years were held at Sky Meadow Golf course and the third year at Andover Country Club- both prestigious 18-hole golf courses. During this time the golf tournament raised over $65,000.

This year, in light of the economic conditions and lengthy time commitment involved for guests playing an 18-hole event, Brookstone Park in Derry, NH, presented a great solution for everyone. Brookstone Park has a topnotch 9-hole golf course with an equally impressive function facility. At this year’s golf tournament, 12 threesomes teed off on nine Par 3 holes. The person closest to the pin on each of the nine holes competed in a playoff. The playoff champion received the 50/50 winnings, totaling $800.

With support from over 25 businesses and 40 individuals, more than $37,000 was raised for the foundation. We look forward to welcoming more players at next year’s golf tournament, to be held again at Brookstone Park.
