About Us

The Pals Foundation, a non-profit organization, was established in 2009 by its founding members, James McClure, Daniel McClure and Thomas Secchiaroli.   In 2010 The PALS Foundation added its fourth board member Lance Conte. L  Following the loss of a brother and close friend, Eugene McClure Jr., to suicide, The Pals Foundation was created in order to help raise funds for educational awareness and charitable purposes relating to mental illness and suicide prevention. 

The Pals Foundation currently hosts an annual golf tournament, The Eugene McClure Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament, as its main source for raising funds, but will also be accepting donations via our website.  In recent years, donations have been provided for a number of great causes including: the Waterford Police Search and Rescue, Silver Hill Hospital, and organizations associated with granting care for the many men and women of our military burdened by the harsh realities of psychological trauma.

The Pals Foundation is a fully incorporated 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization and contributions to the foundation are deductible under section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code..
