What's NEW with the Run To DayLight Program? The Run To Daylight Program continues to put committed young men, who have tested and been accepted, into excellent schools.  On the left are pictures of several students who have been accepted to top schools.  Jonathon Schultze and Victor Howell Graduate From Lawrence Academy These two young men are a by-products of the Run To Daylight Education Foundation/Queens Falcons Football Program. What is so significant about this achievement is that Schulze had not attended school for 1 year and was heading down the wrong path. Victor had a GPA of .08 when they came to the program. Through a series of small miracles, they found their way to the field and each of these young men will be attending college. Schultze will attend American International College and Victor will attend Staten Island College. Congratulations, Jonathon Schultze and Victor Howell, on your achievements!! All of these young men played for the Midget Team, which is coached by Neil O'Donnell, Ed Maley, Mike Miller and Matt Maley. This is a direct result of the Run to Daylight program started by Stephen Hoffman and Coach Tim Cavanaugh.  Congratulations boys, we are extremely proud of you.  We wish you the best at these schools and know that you will continue to make us proud of the amazing young men that you are. If a parent or player wishes to send in photos of a child that has been awarded a scholarship, please send the photo in by clicking here and sending an email to our webmaster.  Joe Marino, Kevin Burke and Neil O'Donnell continue to make Dreams come true for these fine young men. We hope with the continued support of our sponsors and other people's donations that we can send more and more kids away each year through the Run to Daylight Program.   If you wish to make a donation to the Run To Daylight Program, please click here.

 

What is the Run To DayLight Program?

The mission of The Run to Daylight Program is to help our inner city young men secure a top quality education not normally available to families of limited financial means. The program concentrates on finding candidates that are not just athletes but good students as well. These student-athletes are matched with schools that can offer a better education than normally found in the inner city public school system. Basically, their athletic ability helps them to achieve a quality education and opens doors to them normally reserved for more affluent families.

While our commitment to our kids is unquestionable, we cannot do all of this alone. We rely on tax-deductible donations to our league to survive financially. The registration fees we charge basically cover our operating expenses. We will never turn down a child who wants to play football even if he cannot pay the registration fee. We have a saying: “We'll supply the equipment if you supply the commitment”. Well, we are asking for a commitment from you, however large, in order to keep assisting these young men and to continue our resounding successes.
