It was established in 2007 to raise capital for renovations and improvements that would allow the West Warwick High School track to qualify as a sanctioned venue for statewide and regional track meets. The fund was created to honor the memory of West Warwick Allstate track star, and United States Marine, Sgt. Brian St. Germain, who lost his life in Iraq, in the service of his country.
