 | Tom Grem
Tom Grem joined the Corporate Advisory Board in 1999 after coordinating a charity golf event for the Children’s Center. Tom actually started the golf event as a “fun day” for employees, customers and vendors but, once he and his wife were blessed with two healthy children, Mr. Grem had another thought. Why not hold an enjoyable event that also raised a few dollars for a hospital they hoped they would never need but that they were glad was located in their town? Brooks Robinson and Tom worked for the same company at the time and Brooks, gracious as ever, agreed to lend his name to the event. It was called the Brooks Robinson Charity Golf Classic to benefit Hopkins Children's. They have raised about $160,000 for the hospital. Tom believes that “doing the little that we do to help the Children’s Center is very rewarding and is always deeply appreciated by the dedicated staff under Dr. George Dover.”
