Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame Dinner is an annual event that began in 2008 to recognize individuals who have made an extraordinary impact on the community, provided a legacy of leadership and have championed the virtues and values of CYO Athletics. The event also continues to engage the community in CYO Athletics and helps to raise crucial funds to enhance programming.

Following a VIP reception, the Hall of Fame Dinner began in the gym where the jerseys of each school's CYO basketball team were hanging in glory from the bleacher grandstand. After introductions by CYO Athletics Director Courtney Clendinen and Catholic Charities CYO Executive Director Jeff Bialik, and an invocation from Father Walsh, a video highlighting keynote speaker Jennifer Azzi's life achievement wowed the crowd. Azzi, a former WNBA star and a Mill Valley youth basketball coach, emphasized the importance of youth sports in building strong leaders for the future.

A big thanks to the following programs for attending and supporting the Hall of Fame last Friday night: Epiphany, Good Shepherd, Holy Name, Salesian, St. Brendan, St. Brigid, St. Elizabeth, St. James, St. Stephen, St. Thomas More, Star of the Sea.
