David LaMarche Memorial Fund
The LaMarche Family established the Dave LaMarche Sportsmanship Award. The award will be made annually at the NYTPA Fall Banquet. The award of a plaque and $250 cash will be made to the NYTPA member puller, crewperson or family member who upholds the values of sanctioned pulling with NYTPA and goes the extra mile to make a difference for others through encouragement, assistance and an all around good attitude. The annual selection will be made by a committee of NYTPA Officers and tech officials who worked during the pulling season.
