Our Team
Our board members consist of some incredibly passionate individuals, both new and old, who understand the value and legacy that The Never Quit Foundation is continuing with The Spider's Golf Classic.
President- Christopher Ramage
After living out of state for over 15 years, Christopher returned to his birthplace, Gulfport, MS. Upon his return, he and his brother were approached with a meaningful opportunity—to take over their father’s charity golf tournament and continue his legacy of compassion and service.
​
Having grown up immersed in the Spiders community, Christopher didn’t hesitate to carry forward his father’s labor of love: giving back to those in need. The tournament, along with his father's core values, shaped Christopher’s outlook on life, teaching him to give selflessly, take pride in his work, lead with his heart, always believe in himself, and above all, never quit.
In his spare time, Christopher works in the medical cannabis industry, pursues his passion for film and theatre as an actor and writer, and cherishes moments spent with friends and family.
Vice President- Tras Ramage
My name is Russell Ramage, and I am 43 years old. I serve as a company officer at Station 11 for the Gulfport Fire Department, where I have proudly worked for 18 years. I am a devoted father to three children: Russell Cannon (9), Delany Kate (5), and Christopher James (3). As a member of New Life Church in Biloxi, Mississippi, I value faith, family, and community.
​
Raised alongside three brothers, I live by the core values instilled by my father: Pride, Heart, Belief in Yourself, and NEVER QUIT. These principles guide my life and are the foundation of The Never Quit Foundation, a non-profit my brother and I founded after the original Spider’s Charity Organization disbanded. Since its inception, I have served as Vice President of the Board, contributing in various capacities to support local community members.
​
Having been involved in the Spider’s Charity Golf Classic since childhood, service has always been part of my life. Whether at the tournament, through the foundation, or in my professional role, helping others is my calling. I take immense pride in making a positive impact and being of service to those in need.
Secretary - Angele Boudreaux
Angele Boudreaux, a New Orleans native and Loyola University graduate, has lived in Pass Christian since 1989. The widow of Bud Boudreaux, one of the founding members of the Spider’s Golf Classic, she began assisting with the tournament in 2001 and joined the Spider’s Board in 2010. When The Never Quit Foundation was formed in 2022, she became its Secretary while also taking on various responsibilities to support the event.
​
Professionally, Angele is an Independent Insurance Producer licensed in Life and Health, specializing in Medicare coverage for seniors. A former dancer and passionate advocate for health and fitness, she is also a distributor with Herbalife International, helping others lead active and healthy lifestyles. In her free time, she enjoys family gatherings, gardening, cooking, DIY projects, working out, and spending time with her Chocolate Labrador, Chrissy. A proud NOLA girl, she loves Mardi Gras, a cherished tradition she once shared with Bud.
​
Angele’s faith is central to her life, guiding her involvement in church activities such as singing in the Holy Family Catholic Church choir, sponsoring OCIA candidates, and leading the Bereavement Committee. Instilled with the belief that “to whom much is given, much is expected,” she has always dedicated herself to helping others. Staying involved with the Spider’s family after Bud’s passing was a natural choice, reflecting her deep sense of purpose. She holds onto two favorite Bible verses: “Be Still And Know That I Am God” and “I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me,” believing that her work with Spiders and the Never Quit Foundation is simply carrying out God’s plan.
