Dear Friends,

It is hard to believe that this we just completed our 10th Bradley J Fetchet Memorial Foundation outing! What a fantastic gathering of family and friends to remember, reflect and celebrate everyone's resiliency over the past decade! Our family offers our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported Brad's foundation over the years. After the emotion that surrounds each anniversary of 9/11 — it is comforting to come together a week or so afterwards with family and friends for a day of reconnecting and fun.

As you know we established the Bradley J. Fetchet Memorial Foundation to keep Brad's memory alive and to offer need-based scholarships at schools that he loved — New Canaan High School and Bucknell University. YOU have made the foundation quite the success over the past decade. Beyond scholarship funds, Brad's Foundation also offers a bronze ram trophy to the top male and female senior at NCHS's Annual Awards Ceremony. The selections are made by the high school award's committee and this award has evolved to be the most desired recognition among most students. We are proud of these accomplishments — and hope you are too!

So where are we headed? Ten years is a long time. This year's golf outing is our finale and a time of transition. We have decided to evolve the Bradley J. Fetchet Memorial Foundation into a Donor Advised Fund. We will ensure funds are donated each year as they have been in the past for need-based scholarships — and also wish to continue the same recognition at the high school Awards Ceremony. Once in place the new fund will be able to accept donations from individuals or from fundraising events. Our hope is that other fundraising events will continue our tradition but perhaps on a different scale. Examples could include cycling races, lacrosse alumni games, sponsored runs, bowling nights, golf outings or any other creative and fun events. Our sons Wes and Chris want to keep a golf outing going each year. I would be more than happy to help any of you that would like to consider sponsoring such a fundraiser.

In closing, again please accept our since thanks for ten years of support and healing. We are blessed with caring family and friends.

With love,

Frank, Mary, Wes, Sarah and Chris
