Fire Lieutenant Bob Neary ‘70 passed away tragically in the line of duty serving the citizens of Philadelphia. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000. Each year, funds raised by the Crusader Classic 5K Run enable partial scholarships to be offered to deserving students who may otherwise be unable to attend Father Judge.
