Our mission is to provide opportunities and support for our greatest resource – our children, in honor and remembrance of Alister McGregor, a man who made the ultimate sacrifice training others to keep our children safe and secure in our communities. Never forget his sacrifice, and that of the many brave and selfless heroes who dared to stand on the line to protect their communities. Always Remember.

The McGregor Family, the Board of Directors of the ACM5 Fund, Roger Williams University and those that the Fund has supported over the years would like to thank all our donors, sponsors, volunteers and supporters for your generosity, time and commitment to keeping alive the memory of Alister McGregor. Over the years, your support and friendship has helped so many that have needed financial assitance and emotional support.

Folks,

We would like to thank everyone who viewed and liked The McGregor Memorial Facebook page and website, www.mcgregormemorial.org. We would also like to thank those of you who have donated to the fund and our annual Tournament Fundraiser. The proceeds of our fundraising efforts go to the Major Alister C. McGregor Endowment at Roger Williams University and the McGregor Youth Charities. If you have a child interested in attending RWU, go to the RWU Endowment s or the McGregor website, view the criteria information, and submit an application to the school. If you have a youth charity that may need financial support, send a request through our email address on our web-page. For those of you golfing in the 2016 Tournament, it will be held at Crestwood Country Club, located at 90 Wheeler Street, Rehoboth, Massachusetts on Monday, September 12th, 2016. Registration begins at 7:30 AM with a shotgun start at 8:30 AM. Coffee and pastry will be served in the AM, lunch at the turn, and dinner following play.

There will be a number of skill-challenges and an opportunity to win prizes. A mulligan package will be available to each golfer for the meager sum of $20.00. The package will contain: A two foot string in order to move your ball two feet ; an opportunity to throw your ball out of a sand trap (just once), one opportunity to re-hit your drive off the tee or from a lie on the course (just once), an opportunity for men to hit, just once, from the lady’s tee (where most of you should be hitting from anyway), and the ladies may hit from in front of the red tee-box, at an equi-distance from the white tee-box to the red tee –box. The purchase of this challenge package will also afford you the opportunity to win the coveted McGregor Sash (in red plaid this year) and an MRT watch – if you are really that good or lucky.

For those of you who have not entered, I regret to inform you that the Tournament is completely full. The McGregor Family, the ACM Board of Directors, Roger Williams University, and the members of the East Providence Police Department want to express our deepest gratitude to all who have help us to perpetuate this tribute to Al over the past 15 years.

Thank you, and stay safe. – B.O.D. ACM Fund

As in the past, the proceeds will be used to benefit the McGregor Scholarship Endowment at Roger Williams University, individual McGregor Fund education grants, and youth activities and enrichment programs designated by the McGregor Family and Charity Board of Directors.

Over the past two years, we have expanded the Fund’s mission. Proceeds raised through our efforts have been used to enhance the McGregor Scholarship Endowment at Roger Williams University, provide individuals scholarships and grants. In addition to increasing the disbursements of the Endowment, last year’s funds purchased jerseys bearing a shield (with the number ‘5’ on the back) for the East Providence Hockey Program, and provided funds to support the activities of the Wampanoag Warriors, a group of Special Olympic Athletes from the East Providence, Barrington, Rehoboth and Seekonk area.

Once again, we are asking for your support for our annual fundraiser in the form of a donation, tee/flag sponsorship, or by entering a foursome to play in the Tournament. Please fill out and return the attached Donation Form along with your donation or Tournament fees to: The McGregor Memorial Fund, 105 Waterman Avenue #287, East Providence RI, 02914. As in the past, foursomes will be awarded on a first-come/first-served basis. The Tournament fills to full capacity very quickly, so make your request early. The McGregor Memorial Fund is a registered non-profit and your
donation is tax deductible. Make all checks payable to: The McGregor Memorial Fund.

On behalf of the members of the McGregor Family, the East Providence Police Department, and Roger Williams University, thank you so very much for your continued support.

If you have any questions, please, feel free to contact us through our email link at our website, www.mcgregormemorial.org. You can also visit the Officer Down and Concerns of Police Survivors homepages through links provided on our page.
