SAVE THE DATE – NEXT YEAR’S JACK O’SHEA TOURNAMENT WILL BE

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2025

The 2024 Jack O’Shea Golf Tournament was a huge success! The rain held off and a great day of golf, laughs, and solidarity, was had by all.

Most importantly, we raised over $20,000 for the IBEW 2222 Benevolent Fund, which supports charities our members are involved with.

Thank you to all who golfed, donated raffle prizes and cash, and helped make the tournament a success. Special thanks to our sponsors & tournament volunteers.
See you next year!

As a way of background, Scarborough Alliance offers the IBEW Local Unions Savings and Security Plan to IBEW members. This is a qualified retirement plan (not an IRA), that accepts Verizon Pension lump sum and Fidelity 401(k) rollovers. Scarborough Alliance acts in a fiduciary capacity for the exclusive benefit of IBEW members. Scarborough Alliance has been the fiduciary and advisor under the plan since 1979.

The benefits of the IBEW Local Unions Savings and Security Plan are that it provides a qualified plan with personal investment support and low-cost investment options, as well as full retirement planning services to members and their families. The IBEW Trustees oversee this plan.

Margaret represents IBEW locals in New England.
