The Edmund J. Brabants Me­morial Fund was established in May of 2008 in memory of Bud Brabants. Bud, a former Presi­dent

of Walpole Country Club, is remembered for taking charge, mobilizing forces and getting things done. In recognition of the importance of this leadership role, supporters hope to build on Bud’s legacy of leadership by providing scholarships to educate and support tomorrow’s leaders.

The family has created an eight-member board to organize the annual golf tournament, the charity’s most significantfund­raising activity, as well as review and award scholarships. The Board will consider need, academic performance and lead­ership ability as important criteria when awarding scholarships. Se­lected recipients will receive an­nual grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 for college tuition.

The second annual Edmund J. “Bud” Brabants Memorial Golf Tournament presented by PEC (Professional Electrical Con­tractors) will be played at Wal­pole Country Club in Walpole on Monday, May 10. Proceeds of the tournament benefit the Edmund J. Brabants Memorial Fund, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to providing educational scholarships to high school seniors that demonstrate need and leadership beyond the classroom.

The Memorial Fund, through this annual tournament ensures that Bud’s spirit will endure and continue to enrich the lives of many. For more information go to www.ejbmemorialfund.com.
