Ladybug Ball
In November of 2018, we decided to raise money to fund a free inclusive semi-formal dinner dance for young adults of various abilities. We teamed up with our like-minded friends from the Backyard Players, the Mary Quinn’s Mark Foundation, and some old friends from Camp ANCHOR to organize, create, and run our 1st Lady Bug Ball. This night was a huge success with over 100 guests having fun, hanging out, dancing, and enjoying a nice dinner at EGP Land & Sea. This was truly a special night for all of our guest and all of us. I am sure Tommy was looking down on us and smiling.
Rockville Centre St Patrick's Parade
In 2016, The Tommy Brull Foundation was honored to be chosen as the Local Charity by the Rockville Centre St. Patrick's Parade. This amazing organization works all year round to organize the 2rd largest parade of its kind in the tri-state area. This organization has taught us so much about fundraising and community as they celebrate their Irish Heritage. Their efforts awarded us $25,000 and an experience that will never be forgotten.
NYWC Wrestling Exhibition at Camp Anchor
In August of 2016 The Tommy Brull Foundation collaborated with The New York Wrestling Connection to bring this amazing exhibition to Camp ANCHOR in Lido Beach NY.

Tommy, members of our family, and friends grew up working at this one of a kind recreational camp for people with special needs in Lido Beach.
TBF Courage And Resilience Award
In 2015 a friend of the Foundation presented the concept of honoring an individual who continually works to overcome the challenges that life brings. The Courage and Resilience Award is presented to a person who we all can learn from. These recipients alway move forward no matter what challenges lie ahead.

Over 400 people have been given the opportunity to experience the joy of surfing. The sport of Surfing has helped build pride, self worth, and confidence for both the surfer and their family.
