This narrative of Fenway’s growth from a political ideal of free care for all, through its leadership in the global fight against AIDS, to its current status as an international icon of LGBT health care, is an ambitious
work of dedication and love. For People, Not for Profit, a title inspired by the health center’s early slogan, begins at the intersection of the free care and neighborhood
health center movements in Boston. It continues with the heroic tale of Boston’s lesbian and gay communities joining together to fight a shocking enemy. The knowledge
gained in Fenway’s many struggles and triumphs has helped create the largest LGBT organization in the United States today. Tom was born to loving parents, Pasquale and Eileen (Ritchie) Martorelli, in Englewood, NJ. With his sister, Jody, and brothers Bill and Steve, he attended Dumont High School, before graduating from Princeton University and Harvard Business School. His first job title was research assistant for the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, in Washington, DC. In Boston, his work with nonprofits includes Bridge Over Troubled Waters, the Appalachian Mountain Club, the Harvard Club of Boston, and several museums.
Tom enjoys writing, cooking large meals with friends and family, traveling whenever
possible, and serving on the Board of Visitors for Fenway Health. His love for Fenway began in the late 1970s, when he served as chair of its Board of Directors. He hopes readers will remember—and imagine—what a group of volunteers can accomplish
together. Thomas Martorelli in the 1970s and today
