The Hudson Maher Foundation Board

Brett and Tanya Maher – Directors.
Founders of the Hudson Maher Foundation. They began the foundation in memory of their son, Hudson, who passed away after having a bone marrow transplant. They felt a need to help others cope financially and emotionally with similar crises.

Brian Ferrari – Chairperson.
Brian began as deputy chairperson but was thrust into the chairman's role on April 4th, 2005 after the untimely death of our much-loved inaugural chairman, Bernie Lewis, in a plane crash. Brian is on the board of the Adelaide 36ers (the basketball club Brett plays for) and he felt a close bond towards Brett and Tanya and their family throughout Hudson's illness. Brian owns Ferrari Formalwear, a clothing business that hires and sells suits for weddings, school formals etc. He is an invaluable, original board member and is passionate about helping the Foundation achieve its goals.

Jeremy Schultz – Secretary.
Jeremy is a partner in the law firm Finlaysons and is heavily involved with the Adelaide 36ers board. In this latter capacity, he witnessed first hand their heartache that Brett, Tanya and Cheyenne endured through the loss Hudson, and wanted to help in any way he could. Jeremy donates his time as well as office space to the Hudson Maher Foundation.

Paul Finlay – Treasurer.
Paul owns his own accounting firm and, as with the other board members, was exposed to the pain and suffering endured by the Mahers during Hudson's fight through his support of the Adelaide 36ers basketball team. He selflessly donates his time and abilities to the Foundation, and is a regular contributor of items for our fundraising silent auctions.

Mark Lewis.
Mark joined the foundation in April 2005 after the death of his father and mother, Bernie and Christine, in early 2005. Bernie and Chris were avid fans of the Adelaide 36ers, and Bernie was quite passionate about helping the Mahers cope with their grief and begin the Foundation. Mark is now determined to keep Bernie and Christine's memory alive by supporting the cause that they so avidly supported. Mark is a director of Bernie Lewis Home Loans, an extremely successful home loan broking company established by Bernie.
