James R. Galante Memorial Fund
Donation protected
On March 18, 2022, the Galante Family lost their son James in a tragic car accident. There are literally no words to describe this loss for both the family and the entire community of Marblehead. James was an outstanding son, brother, friend, student, and athlete in many sports. This past season, he played a key role on the undefeated Marblehead High School Football Team and their culminating Super Bowl Victory at Gillette Stadium. James was recruited to play football this fall at Denison University and study physics.
If you know the Galante Family, then you have probably seen them on the athletic fields throughout the region for many years. James, Dahlia, Julius & Oscar all competing, while dad Jimmy coaches from the sidelines and mom Lisa cheers them all on. You need not look any further than the hundreds of people who turned out at the MHS candlelight vigil for James, “coach” Jimmy somehow found the strength to turn up and give everyone a hug, most especially the town's young athletes desperately trying to make sense of this overwhelming loss.
Since so many of you have generously reached out, asking how you can help, please consider donating to the James R. Galante Memorial Fund. Your donations will be used for scholarships and other ways to honor James’ memory.
