1st Annual "Day @ the Races" in Memory of Tom Maher
This year's "Day @ the Races" was held at Belmont Racetrack on June 26, 2010. The event was a HUGE success. THANK YOU to ALL those that came out and supported a GREAT cause! There were many of us that came long distances to attend. The day was two-fold for many of us, in that we came together to help support/donate to the Thomas B. Maher Scholarship Fund established at New Hyde Park Memorial High School and we remembered the life of Tom and our place in it.
This year's award winner, Clare Adams, and her family came out for the event as well. Thank you!
(Below you can read some of the words Clare shared after receiving the award.)
There were raffles for 2 - 42' flat screen TVs and a 50/50. Congratulations to: Danny and Jackie Sugrue and Brian McDonaugh on winning the TVs and to Danielle Vaulk for winning the 50/50 jackpot! ENJOY!
Unfortunately, some were not able to come to the event, but we'd love to see you there for the 2nd Annual. Thank you for making donations to the scholarship fund in your absence. We appreciate the support!
The "Day @ the Races" will be an annual event held on the 4th Saturday in June each year. Next year's event will take place on Saturday, June 25, 2011. SAVE THE DATE NOW!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT HELPED MAKE THE EVENT A SUCCESS BEHIND THE SCENES:
Jean and Vinny Condon, Jimmy and Kim Mullen, Jackie and Ralph Mazza, Peg Mullen, Regina Courtney Moerdyck, Joe and Loretta Courtney, D.J. Tommy Tubridy, Courtney Donahue, Lauren Koester, Mike Friedman, Sean Fitzgerald, Mikey Egan, Cliff Shevlin, Tom's collagues @ NHP, and so many more...
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH for the love, support and friendship you have shown myself and my family this past year! -KM

Comments from those that attended the event at Belmont:
Clare Adams:
Thank you for everything you have done Mrs. Maher. This site, the fundraiser at Belmont, and the scholarship fund you created under Mr. Maher's name are amazing ways for us to remember him by.
I want to thank you again for presenting me with the award this year, I am truly honored. I am also grateful to all those who contributed to the fund and made the award possible. It is the most important award I've received in my life, and is the closest to my heart. There are many students in years to come who will deserve the honor of receiving an award in Mr. Maher's name, which makes this fund so special.
I think Ms. Argaman said it the best...I know that Mr. Maher is looking over all of us, smiling away.
Jennifer Walsh Simon: Glad it was a great time!!!! Sorry I missed it maybe next year!!!!
Ellen Lonergan Keegan:I am glad it was a success! I am sorry I didn't go-next year I will be there!
