The Paul McGrath Memorial Fund was established in 1998 to commemorate Paul McGrath, a long time Amesbury, Massachusetts resident. Paul's love of life and ability to live life to its fullest every minute of his brief time here will forever keep him in our hearts. When he died, we tried to help others by asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Amesbury Youth Hockey League. Those donations alone raised over $2,500 and the Paul McGrath Memorial Fund, a 501c(3) nonprofit organization, was founded.

In each of the first nine Paul McGrath Memorial Golf Tournaments, we have attempted to raise significant funds and apply them where we can help to enrich the lives of our local youth. We have donated our proceeds to local youth sports organizations, and others who aim to help improve the lives of our youth, including:

• Amesbury Youth Hockey League
• Class of 1985 Jeff Sanborn Memorial Scholarship
• Amesbury Little League Baseball
• Amesbury Youth Soccer
  
• American Cancer Society
• ALS Association - Massachusetts Chapter
• Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress
• Big Brother / Big Sister
• Judith Doyle Memorial Scholarship Fund
• Austin Smith Memorial Fund
• Ricky Blanchette Memorial Fund
• Susan A. Cardelle Scholarship Fund
• Local 6 - Fran Boudrow Fund for Alzheimers
