Tim's lifelong goal is to remember Stephen Hoffman through the Run To Daylight Education Program. He is always looking for ways to better run this program and help more children have brighter futures through this program. Tim leaves us with this quote "If I can help a young person take a different path and save them from the streets, drugs, violence and crime, I will do it in a heartbeat. We are defined by what we do and teach others - not by the amount of things we attain in life. I had a family member who took the wrong path and that has helped me keep the resolve to help our young people in the Queens Falcons/Run To Daylight Education Program. The legacy of the program will outlive me and I know that it will continue through the help of parents and other volunteers". Contact Tim: tcavanaugh@queensfalcons.net |
