Congrats to NeighborWorks® Southern New Hampshire for a successful Manchester West Side RENEW project!

October 13, 2020 | 0 Comments | , , , , ,

As a proud supporter, TFMoran’s Dylan Cruess, COO was invited by Executive Director Robert Tourigny of NeighborWorks® Southern New Hampshire to the unveiling of their completed West Side RENEW project at 459 Granite Street in Manchester. Typically, a ribbon-cutting ceremony would have marked the completion of this special project, but due to the current pandemic situation, instead of a group gathering, the property was shown social-distanced to the fundraisers who helped make this redeveloped housing project possible. Last fall TFMoran donated $5,000 in support of this important housing initiative to redevelop and preserve properties on Manchester’s West Side. The building was previously an uninhabitable and was purchased at a tax auction from the City of Manchester in 2018. Through a variety of funding sources and with the help of the business community, 459 Granite Street, with its cheery yellow doors, is now home to four working families. The one and two-bedroom affordable-apartment rentals include heat and hot water for between $1,000 and $1,050 per month.

Congratulations to NeighborWorks® Southern New Hampshire for receiving the “2020 Housing for Everyone” award by the TD Charitable Foundation in support of the West Side RENEW initiative!

TFMoran Sponsors The Palace Theatre “Forever Emma” Golf Classic

September 29, 2020 | 0 Comments | , , ,

TFMoran was a proud sponsor of the Palace Theatre “Forever Emma” Golf Classic to benefit the Forever Emma Scholarship Fund. The scholarship fund was created in memory of Bedford, NH resident Emma Bechert, a fourteen-year-old girl with a passion for theater who called the Palace Theatre her second home. Emma died in 2016 following a lengthy battle with cancer. The scholarship is used to help other children become involved in the arts.

The tournament was held on a beautiful day at the Passaconaway Country Club in Litchfield, NH. The tournament included a shotgun start with a scramble format, 19th hole reception, barbecue lunch, awards, and a raffle. TFMoran’s Dan Blais was out on the course with his teammates hoping to place in the top 3. Though, they didn’t quite make it, Dan and his friends had a great time while raising money for children’s theater.

Congratulations to the Top 3!

September 22, 2020 | 0 Comments | ,

On August 21, 2020 TFMoran sponsored The Jenny Fund’s 2nd Annual Golf Tournament at Passaconaway Country Club in Litchfield, NH. $45,000 was raised for cancer research from this year’s most successful event, yet. The tournament helps support the Translational Brain Tumor Immunology Laboratory at Mass General Hospital (MSG) whose research has advanced treatment for patients with cancerous brain tumors. Last year, The Jenny Fund events raised $70,000 for MGH cancer research, double that of what they raised in 2018!

The Jenny Fund was created in memory of Jennifer Gureckis, a 28-year-old New Hampshire resident who lost her years long battle with recurring brain cancer in 2017. After her diagnosis, she completed her Bachelor’s in Biology at Saint Anselm College, and went on to work towards her RN- all while seeking out clinical trials for her treatment in the hopes that she could help contribute towards finding a cure.

TFMoran & Eckman Construction complete Welcome Center at Saint Anselm College

August 27, 2020 | 0 Comments |

TFMoran and Eckman Construction recently completed a new two-story, 9,600 square foot Welcome Center for Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH. Both firms have been working together for decades on numerous projects to expand and improve the college campus.  Eckman Construction led the NH-based Design/Build team for the new Welcome Center.  In addition to TFMoran, who provided surveying, civil/site design, permitting, and landscape architecture, the team also included Dennis Mires, PA as project architect.

The Savard Welcome Center is now complete and ready to welcome students back to campus for the fall semester. Located on the oldest part of the hilltop campus next to Alumni Hall, the new facility replaces the former school bookstore.  TFMoran engineers and landscape architects tailored their design and plantings to match this unique and prominent location in the heart of the college campus. Eckman Construction devised a work plan to handle the challenges of building within tight site limits, while abutting active parking lots, academic buildings, and busy pedestrian ways of the occupied campus.

The new facility houses admissions staff and serves as the first stop for prospective students and their families. Features include a large lobby space to welcome visitors, a presentation room, outdoor patio space, as well as a 1,200 square foot function room with modern AV providing space for highlighting the college’s programs, lectures, alumni reunions, homecoming, and other college events.
