An extraordinary evening at the St. Francis College Charter Award Dinner at 320 Park Avenue.
We honored Chairman Emeritus Thomas J. Volpe, a visionary whose 50+ years of leadership and unwavering belief in our students have shaped everything SFC is today.
President Tim Cecere reminded us that the true measure of an institution is found in the lives it touches, the opportunities it creates, and the students it empowers. Rooted in Franciscan values, SFC continues to move forward with purpose and confidence.
The real stars of the evening were our students. Their stories and achievements reminded every donor, trustee, and alumnus in the room exactly why their support matters. Every scholarship, every partnership, and every act of generosity opens a door for a student who needs it most.
A special thank you to our emcee Christine Persichette for bringing the evening to life with such warmth and grace. And to everyone who continues to invest in the future of St. Francis College, thank you. The next chapter of this institution is shaping up to be its strongest yet.
