About Paul A. Bolduc

Fundraising – PBTG – Annual Paul A. Bolduc tailgate

PBTG

2018–Present

Paul was an avid UCONN fan, loved attending games and tailgating. In 2018 a group of friends and family members organized a tailgate in his honor to raise money for scholarships. These scholarships would be given to Manchester seniors on his behalf. It was a huge success. The following year, the Paul A. Bolduc Charitable Foundation, Inc was founded. The purpose of this foundation is simple. Keep the memory and spirt of Paul alive. Each year, our fundraising event will be a tailgate at a UCONN game – the PBTG. Each year, all monies raised will go to Scholarships for Manchester Seniors.

Our Success:

Since 2018, our group has raised upwards of $100,000. We have given Manchester seniors 50+ scholarships – (1X - $1000) in 2018, (3X - $2000) in 2019, (5X - $2000) in 2020, (4X - $2000) in 2021, (6X - $2000) in 2022 and (7+ - $2000) in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The scholarships are provided through the Manchester Scholarship Foundation, via a yearly donation from our Foundation in Paul’s name.
