  • Tim graduated from St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School in 1983, Cornell University in 1987, and The Simon Business School of the University of Rochester in 1993.  Tim was passionate about sports.  A major highlight was leading Cornell Lacrosse to the NCAA D1 Championship game in 1987.  He was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and Chelsea F.C. of the English Premier League.  Tim’s most precious legacy was being a father, coach, and role model to his three sons.  His love of life was contagious to all of those who met him, impacting members of the community beyond his family.  It was his love of sports and his connection with our athletes that drew him to Challenger Athletics.  As an avid sports fan Tim attended many events but his greatest love was for lacrosse and the surf camp.  Through these programs he developed a bond with Ray’s son Patrick.  On many occasions Ray would find Patrick in a text chat with Tim or on the phone checking in.  Patrick to this day still cherishes those times and talks about Tim often.  We cannot think of a better role model for our buddies than Tim.  That is why we are proud to be offering this scholarship in his name to buddies entering post grade school education.

What Our Scholars Have to Say:

  • Challenger Athletics has opened my eyes to the joy that can be found in the simple things in life. Every weekend, whenever I enter the gym or field and begin to prepare for the ensuing activities, the excitement I witness from each of the athletes always warms my heart. The pure happiness, smiles, laughs, fist bumps, and conversations that I get to partake in, fill me with a great sense of gratitude.

    Challenger has left such a meaningful and positive impact on my life, and I relish the opportunity to do anything I can to help grow the mission of the program.
