Andrew Widman Memorial Fund

Officer Andrew Widman was a rookie police officer from Fort Myers, FL, and also a die hard Red Sox fan, who was killed in the line of duty on July 18, 2008.  He graduated from Gordon College in Boston with a divinity degree and elected to do his missionary works on the streets of Fort Myers.  During spring training he was assigned to the Red Sox training facility in Fort Myers.  Edward Quinn is a fellow FMPD officer who described Widman as "without exception, the nicest guy on the force," so much so that his fellow officers dubbed him the "preacher."  He was shot in the face at point-blank range by a convicted felon with 22 prior convictions while breaking up a domestic disturbance.  Widman was only 30 years of age and leaves behind a wife and 3 small children.  For more information on Office Andrew Widman, you can visit www.odmp.org/officer/19456-police-officer-andrew-widman.

Somers Athletic Fund

Raising two teenaged children is not an easy task. Raising them as a widowed single father is even harder. John Somers has been doing just that, but the burden of trying to provide the best for his children gets harder and harder with the rising costs of both of his children’s athletic programs. His daughter is a two-time State Individual Gymnastics Champion and attends East Elite Cheerleading. His son is currently a Medford High School football player and trying out for baseball. John’s daughter has been contacted by four major college cheerleading schools and gymnastics and all John wishes is that he will be able to keep her enrolled in East Elite so her dreams can become a reality. To make a donation, please contact John Somers at mykidscheer@aol.com, call (781) 391-9659 If you want to check out East Elite’s cheerleading program, you can go to there web site at www.eastelite.com.

MA Designated Driver Program

Every year alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes in Massachusetts kill nearly 200 people and seriously injure thousands more. Many of these deaths and injuries could be prevented through the greater use of designated drivers. The program is designed to promote the use of designated drivers and reduce drunk-driving related deaths and injuries in Massachusetts. The program was launched in Boston and Worcester in June and is now being rolled out to additional communities.  In conjunction with the extended roll-out, the Lieutenant Governor has recorded a PSA about the program. To learn more about the program, log onto www.mass.gov/goodtodrive.
