Monday, April 9, 2001
5:30 p.m. Reception and Silent Auction
7:00 p.m. Dinner
Adam's Mark Hotel
City Line and Monument Road
Philadelphia

For the fifth year, the banquet is being co-sponsored by the Philadelphia 76ers. However, because the 76ers are playing the Boston Celtics that evening in Boston, Mr. Pat Croce and his team will be unable to be present for this event.

The Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) Program utilizes sports and coaching to develop the spirituality and character formation of young people. CYO helps to prepare young people for the challenges of today and tomorrow. The purpose of the banquet is to raise funds for their programs, highlight the efforts of the CYO, and to honor adults who exemplify the philosophy, values and mission of the CYO. The three Hall of Fame inductees are:

Mr. James A. Fitzsimmons, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs,
Dean of Students, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA

Dr. Rosalie M. Mirenda, President of Neumann College, Aston, PA

Rev. Mr. Joel M. Ziff, Director of Finance,
Regional Community of Sisters of Mercy, Merion, PA
