Proceeds from this year's fifth annual bocce tournament, held on October 11 at the SportsZone in Derry, NH, were donated to the First Lieutenant Michael J. Cleary Memorial Fund. Lt First Class Cleary was a highly trained and decorated military munitions expert who lost his life at the hands of a roadside bomber in Iraq, just weeks before he was scheduled to come home for Christmas and to make plans to marry his childhood sweat heart. Jack and Marianne Cleary, Michael's parents, and the rest of their wonderful family, decided to turn their personal tragedy into a positive situation so that their son'ss legacy would continue and so that the things that mattered most to him in his short life here on earth continued to matter. Their fund supports the families of our fallen heroes and helps wounded veterans get back on their feet when they return home. They have impacted thousands of US soldiers and their families, many who may not have been able to receive assistance elsewhere.

The Tournament raised over $37,400 for the fund, the highest raised in a single year since they were started  five years ago.  The Martignetti Family wishes to thank all of our vendors, customers, friends, family and employees for their generous contributions which made this gift possible.
