About Sean and the Foundation
|
|
Sean McDonough and his sister Erin established the Foundation in 2002 with the goal of raising and distributing funds to children’s charities throughout Massachusetts. Sean proudly tells people he “stole” the idea from good friends, PGA golfers Billy Andrade and Brad Faxon. After years of participating in the Andrade-Faxon event in Rhode Island,
and seeing the good the money they raised did for local children, he decided it was time to do more personally to make a difference for the children of Massachusetts. Together with friends and family (click here to see Board membership) Sean and Erin established the Foundation that has raised and distributed nearly $2.4 million in 8 years to 116 different Massachusetts children's charities.
