We would like to thank all participants, the Roses Run staff and all the volunteers that made the first Cpl. Joseph A. Tomci Golf Outing a success. It was a fun filled day that involved great food, great prizes and a prestige golf course. All of the money raised will go directly to the Foundation to help the military families and personnel that sacrifice so much. Please join us in the future for other exciting events.
Our thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of Staff Sgt. James Hunter of the U.S. Army. Staff Sgt. Hunter was killed last week in Afghanistan by an enemy bomb. He is a 2003 graduate of Firelands High School in Oberlin, OH. James served two tours in Iraq prior to his tour in Afghanistan. He is a true hero and warrior and his sacrifice for our freedom will never be forgotten. The Cpl. Joseph A. Tomci Foundation will do all that we can to support the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Hunter through these tough times. Please read the following article to learn more, http://www.morningjournal.com/articles/2010/06/21/news/mj2919278.txt.
The Cpl. Joseph A. Tomci Memorial Foundation hosted a celebration of the naming of the Stow Post Office Building in Cpl. Tomci’s name. The celebration was held at Roses Run Country Club and was a major success for the foundation. Thanks to all of our sponsors of the event and to all of those who participated in the silent auction, 50/50 raffle, cornhole tournament and the grand prize drawing. We look forward to helping military members and families with the funds raised.
Recently, The Cpl. Joseph A. Tomci Memorial Foundation teamed up with the USO in order to deliver care packages to our troops fighting overseas. The packages contain snacks, hygiene supplies, magazines, movies and more.
