To Our Incredible MMTrant Foundation Family,
As we reflect on last month's 6th Annual Co****le Tournament & Social, one word comes to mind: gratitude.
To every supporter, sponsor, donor, attendee, volunteer, event vendor, and community partner—THANK YOU for believing in our mission and for helping make our 6th Annual Co****le Tournament & Social such a tremendous success!
Looking back through these photos, we're reminded that what began with Mother Nature throwing us a stormy curveball quickly became something so much greater — a celebration of compassion, community, and the incredible impact that can be made when people come together for a cause bigger than themselves. Despite the rainy start, hundreds gathered with smiling faces, generous hearts, and a shared commitment to supporting the future of nursing.
To our Corporate Sponsors & MarketStreet Lynnfield: thank you for your continued partnership and generosity. Your belief in our mission allows us to create opportunities that directly impact future nurses and the patients they will one day serve.
To our amazing Event Vendors: thank you for donating your time, talents, products, and services. Your professionalism, enthusiasm, and willingness to give back created an unforgettable experience for every guest in attendance. It truly takes a village to make an event like this possible.
Thank you to Real Wicked Events for bringing every tournament detail together seamlessly and Black Diamond Event Production for creating an incredible event experience. Thank you to Lynnfield's Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse, Burton's Bar & Grill, La Gallina, King's Dining & Entertainment, The Beer Mobile, Spindrift Sparkling Water, GlowBar and Wellness in Motion for generously treating our guests to amazing food, beverages and wellness experiences throughout the night. We are truly so fortunate to have such an incredible network of local businesses standing beside our mission, many of whom continue to support us year after year.
To everyone who purchased a ticket, entered a raffle, made a donation, shared our event, or simply showed up to support us: THANK YOU. Every act of generosity, no matter the size, helps us continue investing in aspiring nurses and current nurse professionals, carrying forward a legacy rooted in compassion, empathy and service.
And to our extraordinary 2026 MMTrant Foundation Nursing Scholarship recipients -- Congratulations!! Watching you accept your scholarships was one of the most meaningful moments of the evening. Your passion, dedication, and commitment to caring for others give us tremendous hope for the future of healthcare. We know each of you will carry Mary's legacy into every classroom, every clinical rotation, every hospital room, and every life you touch. We are incredibly proud to be a small part of your journey and cannot wait to watch all that you accomplish!
Finally, to our volunteers, fellow board members, family, friends and property management staff: thank you for the countless hours spent planning, organizing, lifting, setting up, checking in guests, coordinating vendors and permits, and making every detail come together. Your behind-the-scenes work is the heartbeat of this event.
The MMTrant Foundation was built on the belief that compassion, kindness, and empathy matter, and creates a ripple effect. Because of all of you, that ripple continues to grow.
Together, we are honoring Mary's life in the most beautiful way possible — not simply by remembering her, but by empowering the next generation of nurses to care for others with the same compassion, strength, and selflessness that defined her.
Thank you for helping us keep Mary's legacy alive. We couldn't do it without you, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our growing MMTrant Foundation family.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Emily McCarthy & Samantha Kelly
President & VP of the MMTrant Foundation

On behalf of our Board of Directors and the entire MMTrant Foundation family ❤
