Thomas D Walsh Memorial Swim Scholarship
My grandfather, Tom Walsh had a passion for swimming, teaching and adaptive sports. He was my number 1 cheerleader & pool boy until he lost his brief battle to Pancreatic Cancer at the age of 90 in November 2020. In his memory, a scholarship fund was created to provide financial assistance for swimming lesson program fees for children with disabilities in Massachusetts.
Please nominate a friend, family member, neighbor or yourself to receive financial assistance for adaptive swimming lessons.
Scholarship recipients will be notified as funds become available.
