We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support in 2007. Through donations, sponsorships, volunteers, and emotional support, we were able to raise over $15,000.00 to give back to our community, which will promote youth safety and scholastics in Medway. Our hope is to eventually help support many communities throughout New England.

We thank you for supporting the First Annual Alex Handy Memorial Golf Tournament and the First Annual Alex's Run to the Heaven’s (Motorcycle Run).

Part of the proceeds from your support through donations and event sponsorships have gone to, but are not limited to the following:

* Painting the "legal" crosswalks in town with "PROJECTALEX" in powder blue to help better public awareness

Brian Schoﬁeld, Rachel Vanetzien, Alyssa Huckins, and Stella Butcher were awarded with Savings Bonds and American Express Gift Cards.
