The Kent J. Riley Charitable Fund, a federally recognized 501(c)(3) organization, was established to honor the spirit in which Kent lived his life, and to help raise the next generation of helping hands. Kent was a loving husband, father, coach and accomplished scientist residing in Lexington, MA who passed away at the age of 43 after a five-year battle with Multiple Myeloma.  The Fund has established a college scholarship designed for youth athletes planning to enter into a STEM or health related field of study. In addition, we provide support to local hospice organizations, which provide tremendous support and are often underfunded. More information about the fund can be found at www.kjrfund.org.

Our event is a golf tourney/auction/dinner attended by 240 and typically nets $40K.  It is our major fundraiser for the year.

Donors and sponsors are acknowledged immediately on our website, social media, in our e-newsletter (700+ households 4x prior to event), and in all print media at the event.
