In 2020, the Cochary Gross Family, in lieu of sponsoring the annual Tommy Cochary High School Mile race, opted to share their gift to support our annual scholarship program.
“Although we are disappointed in having to delay the 10th running of the Tommy Cochary High School Mile, we continue our mission to support students by increasing our contribution to Falmouth Road Race, Inc. for its scholarship awards.
We know that the pandemic is putting extraordinary financial pressure on families and we don’t want this to limit the ability of Falmouth High School students to go to college. Our motto has been and will continue to be, ‘Make Smart Choices’ while transitioning into the next phase of your lives.
We look forward to making the celebration of the 10th annual Tommy Cochary High School Mile in the summer of 2021 even more inspiring.”
