Inaugural Golf Tournament
On June 30th, the RJW Foundation hosted its inaugural golf tournament at Indian Ridge Country Club. With a full field of golfers, generous sponsors, and a beautiful summer day, the event was a tremendous success. Highlights included an inspiring update from Dr. Suma Babu of the Healey Center for ALS at Mass General, fun contests and games, and an outpouring of support from friends, family, and local businesses.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, friends, and golfers, we were proud to announce a long-term financial commitment to support groundbreaking ALS research. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Second Annual Holiday Fundraiser
The Second Annual Holiday Fundraiser wasn’t just another gathering—it was a testament to Dick’s lasting influence. Friends, family, and supporters came together once again, not just to honor his memory but to carry forward his unwavering vision that a cure for ALS was possible.
The night was a resounding success, raising over $7,000 for ALS research, turning a heartfelt tradition into meaningful impact. What started as a promise between best friends had now become a force for change, proving that Dick’s mission, passion, and optimism would live on for years to come.

Celebration of Life
In September, friends and family gathered again, this time to celebrate Dick’s life the way he would have wanted—at a Patriots tailgate at Mike and Lisa’s home paying tribute and sharing stories. It was a day full of fun, watching the Patriots vs. 49ers, playing yard games, enjoying food and beverages and listening to the Dick Rock's playlist. It was a celebration, full of the same energy, camaraderie, and passion that made Dick who he was.

Holiday Party – Where It All Began
For years, Sul hosted his annual Christmas party at Maria’s in Haverhill, a tradition filled with friends, family, and plenty of laughs. In 2023, that gathering took on a deeper meaning.
Dick was there, just as he had been for years—surrounded by those who meant the most to him. His mother sat proudly by his side, and his friends and family filled the room, reminiscing and celebrating the season. It was a fitting and heartwarming gathering.
Dick had been talking about wanting to start a foundation, a way to help find a cure and make a real difference. That night, his vision became more than just an idea. Sul announced that moving forward, this wouldn’t just be a Christmas party—it would be the Annual Holiday Fundraiser. A night dedicated to honoring his best friend and carrying forward Dick’s hope and optimism. A night not only to celebrate but to take real steps toward making a difference. It was the beginning of something bigger, something lasting, something that would ensure Dick’s vision lived on.
