On October 21, 2004 Victoria "Torie" Snelgrove attended a Red Sox celebration in Boston and was tragically killed. In her memory the Snelgrove family has set up a memorial fund.  Torie's dream was to pursue a career in broadcast journalism.  It is the goal of the Victoria Snelgrove Memorial Fund to award scholarships benefiting East Bridgewater High School, Massachusetts and Emerson College of Boston, students who have the same dream.  In addition the Victoria Snelgrove Memorial Fund hopes to benefit the lives of others.
