The purpose of the TOM G JR MEMORIAL FUND is to raise money to financially assist ALL EMS PERSONNEL, FIREFIGHTERS, and HEART TRANSPLANT PATIENTS, including their children and spouses in their time of need. Our main goal is to provide them with "at hand funds" upon the receipt of a letter of financial need. This is the only Fund that we are aware of that provides this type of help and this fundraiser is the only resource that we have to create revenue to help those that help us as well as heart transplant patients. Tom received a heart transplant at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA where he was a patient for almost one year waiting for his new heart and passed away on October 8, 1999 due to an overwhelming infection (MRSA) that attacked his new heart. Tom worked with the Liberty Health Care System (Jersey City Medical Center), Jersey City, NJ and Alert Ambulance in Lakewood, NJ. He was a member of Pioneer Hose Fire Co. No. 1, Brick Township Underwater Search and Recovery Team, Community First Aid Squad in Brick, NJ, Brick Elks #2151, and served in the Army National Guard. Lunch will be hosted by Shore Catering, Brick NJ and Dinner will be hosted by George's Place, Brick, NJ.
