He also continues as an independent consultant for the New York Giants Player Development. Gonzalez said, “We are faced with decisions every day at which time we can decide to be fully committed, or All In.” He encouraged all at the dinner to commit, to be “All In” for our children and Catholic education.
The evening included a major donor private reception, a live and silent auction, raffle baskets, dinner, and “Baseball with the Bishop” Raffle. The final event of the evening was a testimonial from St. Pius X High School junior, Logan Hooks. Logan shared his story and his success which was made possible due to the generosity of others. The Catholic School’s Office thanks the many sponsors, donors, and friends of our Catholic schools who through their generous support, continue to promise a future for our children.
