Kevin Duffy '99 Inducted in FP Lacrosse Hall of Fame

The Fordham Prep Lacrosse Season Kickoff and Hall of Fame Induction ceremony held at Rory Dolan’s this past Saturday, March 29th was another resounding success!  Over 160 lacrosse players, family, and alumni gathered to recapture the memories from previous years, look ahead to an exciting new season, and honor Kevin Duffy ‘99 as our newest inductee into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame (bio below).  The evening was extra special for Kevin, and the extended Duffy family, as they were present to help bestow the recently unretired #41 jersey, worn in honor and memory of their brother and son, Chris Duffy ‘96, to the Ram who will wear it this season.  Congratulations to Brendan McGrath ‘25 (Bronxville) on being selected with the honor as the second recipient to wear the #41 again. 

Thanks to the donations of our guests, Silent Auction donors, Raffle donors and our dinner sponsors, we raised over $20,000 for the lacrosse program, which will go a long way to underwriting season expenses and future program initiatives.

          Thank you to all who contributed! The Top Corner Club, Fordham Prep Lacrosse coaching staff, and players greatly appreciate all of your support and generosity.  We hope to see you at our next home game Monday, April 7th vs. Hackley and will keep you posted on additional Fordham Prep Lacrosse events.  Be on the lookout for our weekly preview/recap emails which hit inboxes usually on Sunday.

For those who missed the dinner and would like to donate, you can do so here.
