The Tommy McNamara Charitable Foundation is always looking for ways to make a direct impact on the lives of youth in the community. So, when the Kennebunk Youth Football Program reached out over the winter in need of help with the purchase of 120 top-of-the-line helmets, it was a match made in heaven. The foundation has used its main event – an annual Wiffle ball tournament held at the Tommy McNamara Wiffle Ball Field in Kennebunk – as a springboard for various causes such as the donation of a Beach Wheelchair for Gooch’s Beach and the provision of scholarships for the Kennebunk Recreation Department’s Summer Day Camp. Helping supply 120 youth football players with Riddell Speedflex helmets can also be added to the list.
