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.

Visit the Torie Fund Homepage for upcoming events and photos of Torie, her family, Torie's Place at the Spring Street School, and Torie's Place Too.

Each Spring, in honor of Torie, the Brockton Rox award an aspiring broadcast journalist with the "Victoria Snelgrove Media Internship."  The internship is designed to help an aspiring journalist who shares Torie's "spirit, love of life and baseball."
