Mrs.SueHartmanCongratulations to our Mom, Sue Hartman, on her induction into the Legends of McDevitt!
Faith – Family - Football
A Catholic Education was extremely important to our parents and together they made many sacrifices to send the five of us to Holy Martyrs and Bishop McDevitt.
With her love and leadership, we created the Thomas J. Hartman, Sr. Scholarship Fund to memorialize and honor our father, her husband, Thomas J Hartman Sr. who served as a Freshman Football Coach at Bishop McDevitt for many years.
The fund helped to support students and the football programs of both McDevitt and St. Gen’s CYO in Flourtown through the many generous contributions from friends, family and local businesses at our annual benefit, a horseshoe tournament beef & beer!
We congratulate Sue and all of the Hall of Fame Inductees today!
Lancers for Life!
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.”
Ralph Waldo EmersonCONGRATS TO THE HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES -
