Alumni
Rugby (re)Union At this summer’s Surfside 7s rugby tournament in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, the first ever Prep “alumni side” featured players spanning the relatively brief (but already proud) history of Prep Rugby. They have gone on to play at the collegiate level for Delaware, Saint Joseph’s, La Salle, Loyola Chicago, Boston College and others. Left to right, front row: Drew Convery, ’11, Mark Zatta, ’11 and Phil Dacchille, ’05. Back row: Kevin Handsman, ’09, David Moriera, ’09, Pat Coyle, ’12, Alan Stickno, ’10, Luca Taite ‘11, Henderson Cole, ’09, Anthony Machcinski, ’07, Will Greb, ’06, Blake Shapskinsky, ’11 and Ryan Stickno, ’13.
All donors in the winning city will receive an exclusive 95 Challenge travel mug, perfect for keeping their favorite beverage hot while they hit the road to brag to their friends up and down the coast!
On the Road Again... Prep’s Alumni Spirituality Committee will once again feature a busy schedule of events, including Theology on Tap, an Emmaus Walk, Jesuit Trivia Night, the debut of Thirsty Thursdays and more! Also returning will be the ever-popular Prep on the Road Saturday Masses, celebrated in the homes of the Prep community around New Jersey. Following are the Prep on the Road dates – Mass starts at 5 p.m. • November 9: Maywood
“The 95 Challenge will be a great opportunity for us to connect with our East Coast alumni in a new way,” explained Chris Casazza, ’97, Prep’s chief advancement officer. “We’re aiming to tap into both a strong supply of Prep pride and a classic rivalry at the same time, and hopefully have some fun in the process.”

When it comes to a little competition, it’s safe to say there’s a certain, (usually) friendly rivalry among the cities of the East Coast. This year, alumni in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., have a chance to settle the score and support one cause everyone can agree on: Jesuit education at Grand & Warren! For the duration of the 2014 Annual Fund, donations from alumni living in each of the four contest cities will count towards the annual “95 Challenge,” with the city with the highest percentage of alumni participation in the Annual Fund emerging victorious.
