THOMAS PATRICK KNOX '87 SCHOLARSHIP FUND

On December 4, family and friends of Tom Knox '87, who died in the attacks of September 11, 2001, hosted the inaugural public event kicking off the Thomas Patrick Knox Scholarship Fund. The reception at Jersey City's Liberty House Restaurant provided a chance for hundreds of Knox family, Seton Hall Prep and Cantor Fitzgerald friends and alumni to support the Knox Scholarship Foundation, and to meet the first two recipients, Prep junior Luis Fernandez and senior Andrew Sharkey.

The spectacular outpouring of support in the first event the Foundation has run, resulted in more than $30,000 being collected for the fund.

01.09.03 YOUNG ALUMNI DAY

• Early January annually provides a perfect opportunity for recent graduates, still home from their [seemingly never-ending] college Christmas vacations to re-convene at the Prep to renew acquaintances with their classmates and teachers. 2003 was no different, as nearly 60 recently-minted alumni "came home" for a couple of hours of good cheer and "catching up."
