A proud tradition and staple within our Marist Football Program the past 15 years is the value of service and the importance of giving back. Our program has been blessed with the support and sacrifices from our own families and from the many members of the Marist community, to which we are forever grateful.

As the current and past head coach of our Program, we wanted to reach out to you, our Marist Football Alumni Family, and humbly request you consider giving back to Marist on “Champagnat Day,” which is Thursday, April 20, 2023. The funds raised on Champagnat Day have provided opportunities for all Marist students in every area of the school.  Each year we see the positive benefits these opportunities have provided for our students.  As we continue to uphold this tradition of giving back, we are relying on you, our alumni, who have built and made this Football Program and School what is today, to help us carry this tradition forward for future generations. Last year our football family was at the top of the leaderboard, had a great showing and we'd love to surpass our total from last year.

We are extremely grateful for any support you can provide (donations, no matter the quantity, make a difference and are being accepted now) using the 'Donate' button. The more people that know about Champagnat Day, the greater impact we can make. Please also spread the word by sharing the Marist's Alumni Football Challenge page with your friends and family. We each are the piece that lives out the Marist mission. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

Many Thanks - 
Coach Ron Dawczak ’93    Coach Pat Dunne ‘98
