Charity Bruins Event

Tim Jacobs, a loyal and dedicated Republican from Framingham, MA, passed away suddenly this year, leaving his wife, Mary, and their two young children without a father. Tim was a veteran of the United States Army. He was an alternate delegate to the 2004 GOP National Convention.

He was active in several campaigns including Gov. Romney's and Jim Coffey's run for the State Senate in 2004. He was active in the Framingham Republican Town Committee, serving as its Secretary at the time of his death.

Jim Coffey, the MassGOP's General Counsel and a partner with the law firm of Verrill Dana, LLP in Boston, has been assisting Tim's family during this difficult time, and created the "Timothy Jacobs Memorial Trust" to help the family with the financial challenges they now face.

The Timothy Jacobs Memorial Trust has set up a benefit hockey game to help the Jacobs Family. The game is between the Boston Bruins Alumni "Black and Gold Legends" team, and the Tim Jacobs All Stars. It will take place at 7pm on the 13th of April 2007 at the North Star Youth Forum. The ice rink is located at 15 Brindle Lane in Westboro, MA, which is right off Rte 9 West.

Tickets are $10. They can be purchased as follows:

1) Call Chris Currie at (508) 397-6703 and make arrangements.

2) Call Dan Murtagh at (617) 605-2669 and make arrangements.

3) At the ice rink the night of the event, if tickets are still available.

Cash and checks (made payable to the "Timothy Jacobs Memorial Trust") are the only way to purchase tickets for the game. If individuals want to make monetary donations directly to the Trust, they may make arrangements through the above contacts or send their checks made payable to the "Timothy Jacobs Memorial Trust" to:
