Fundraisers
Intially the Trust was formed with the generous and loving gifts of many family and friends at the time of Welles’ death. However, Welles’ friends have established annual fund-raising events in New York and Boston which have enabled the Trust to continue growing while bringing good into the community.
- Nyack, NY: The annual Nyack High School Varsity Ice Hockey Alumni Game is held in Welles’ memory as a fund-raiser. Contact: John Scott.
- Nyack, NY: The annual Nyack High School Men’s Lacrosse Alumni Game is held in the spring as a fund-raiser for the Crowther Trust. Contact: Eamon DePeter.
