THANK YOU!!!
In these truly challenging financial times, I would like to extend many thanks and my appreciation to all who participated and made the 5th annual Nicholas Jennings' Memorial Ride on July 25, 2009 our most successful event to date. With the help of so many volunteers, great sponsors and all the riders/passengers who participated we raised $10,000.00 in scholarship funds, which will be awarded to high school seniors attending Hollis, Brookline or Nashua High Schools. Our goal is to continue the growth of this event, enabling us to extend the scholarship into other surrounding towns in the near future. I'm grateful for your support and look forward to seeing everyone on next years ride. Dates for the 6th annual event will be posted on the web site after the first of the year.
Sincerely,
Dave Jennings

Welcome
The Nicholas Jennings Memorial Fund was setup in honor of Nicholas Jennings, a member of the Hollis Brookline High School Class of 2007, who passed away in November of 2004 as a result of an automobile accident. Nick had a special charisma that enabled him to bring a smile to anyone's face while always having one on his own.
Nicholas lived each day to the fullest and believed the way to do that was simply to have fun. Nick's love for athletics didn't end on the football or lacrosse field, teams that he personally participated on, he was also very involved in all other athletic teams through his school spirit. Nick also expressed his charisma through his artwork, improvisational and musical abilities.
This scholarship will not necessarily be awarded to a candidate with outstanding scholastic achievements, but to a student who tries to excel through furthering his/her education and gain personal growth through sports and other educational activities.
Our goal is to expand this event to include surrounding towns for their High School students. Since 2005, this memorial ride has achieved tremendous growth and we would like to take this time to thank all of our family, friends and sponsors for making this dream come true.
