2023 Honoree

Bobby Conrad

Bobby has been a fixture in the Norwood and Walpole communities since the early 90’s and has quietly shown so many people his incredible kindness and generosity.

It is instantly clear if you talk to Bobby that football is his passion. Bobby was a volunteer football coach for Norwood High School for over a decade before moving to Walpole and taking over as the President of the Youth Football program. He spent 15-years at the helm before taking over in his current role at Dover Sherborn High School. As important as the wins are on the field, Bobby makes sure the organizations are taken care of long-term helping with fundraising efforts and other off-field needs. Over the last decade he has donated over $25,000 to help stock the snack shacks in both towns.

When Bobby’s childhood friend passed, he honored his memory with the Brad Wheeler Golf Tournament starting in 1994. This raised over $50,000 and provided a scholarship to a senior football player at NHS. In 2003, Norwood mourned the passing of Danny Reen. Without hesitation and with the support of both Brad and Danny’s family the golf tournament was renamed in honor of Danny and raised over $125,000 from 2004-2019.

If someone places a call to Conrad’s Bobby will answer with whatever they need. He is a constant supporter of local charities, schools and families in need of assistance.
