Dear Fellow Alumni, Parents and Friends
3
We’re well into the rhythm of the new school year, and it’s going well! A hearty welcome to the Class of 2017, CBA’s 55th freshman class.
“
Religion, Morals, Culture.
”
Our 1st class — the Class of 1963 — returned to campus last May for their 50th reunion, and they began their celebration by establishing a new CBA tradition. The 1963 alumni attended our 2013 commencement ceremony as honored guests, marching in procession behind the new graduates. As each graduate received his diploma, he was congratulated by a 1963 graduate, and presented with a special “challenge coin.” 1963 challenged 2013 to hold onto their coins, so that they could present them, in the same fashion, to the class of 2063. The graduating seniors responded with a spontaneous standing ovation for their predecessors. Those of us who are alumni realize how much we owe to that first class. They were the ones who came to school on what had recently been a horse farm, taking classes in a converted stable that would serve as the school building for the next two years. There was no tradition, no reputation for excellence in academics or athletics. The Class of ’63 blazed the trail that each of us would follow in the years to come. Like all the issues of CBA Today, this one tells the story of how Christian Brothers Academy continues our important mission of educating the young men who enter our doors each year. Each new year and each new class adds to the tradition that began over a half century ago! Congratulations to our newest alumni, the Class of 2013, and welcome to our new Colts, the Class of 2017! May God continue to bless our students, faculty, staff, alumni and benefactors.
Sincerely,
Br. Frank Byrne, FSC ’75 President CBAToday

In the space of a few weeks last spring, CBA suffered the loss of three extraordinary Brothers, who gave a great deal, each in his own way, to several generations of Academy men. May they rest in peace.
Brother Peter Mannion, FS C January 17, 1926 — April 20, 2013
Brother Joseph Miggins, FS C April 8, 1924 — May 14, 2013
Brother Cyril O’Neill, FS C January 18, 1929 — May 16, 2013
CBAToday
Brother Peter served Christian Brothers Academy as principal from 1972 to 1979, and thereafter, as a member of the guidance department. When ill health required his semi-retirement in 1993, he continued to lend his assistance, wise counsel and good cheer to the development office until 2008. His students and the faculty and staff who worked with him will remember Brother Peter for his steady leadership, good sense, personal kindness and patience, as well as his robust sense of humor and ringing laugh. CBA’s president, Brother Frank Byrne, who was a student at the Academy during Brother Peter’s years as principal, spoke for hundreds of alumni when he said, “Christian Brothers Academy is grateful to Brother Peter for his leadership and the support he gave to countless students during his years of service." Christian Brothers Academy has established The Brother Peter Mannion Memorial Scholarship Fund in honor of the school’s third principal. Alumni, parents and friends who wish to make a gift in support of this fund may do so by mailing a check to The Brother Peter Mannion Memorial Scholarship Fund, Christian Brothers Academy, 850 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, NJ 07738.
“Brother Joe,” as he was called by all who knew him, joined the faculty in 1988 when he was appointed director of the CBA Brothers’ Community. When his term as community director ended in 1996, he undertook the direction of the school’s Christian service program, a role he continued until his death. The fact that, year after year, so many students cheerfully exceeded the required hours of Christian service, is certainly due in no small part to the encouragement he gave individually to hundreds of students and to the example he set himself. Brother Joe, who had a remarkable flair for bridging 50-, 60-, and even 70-year-long generation gaps, was relentless in his zest for life and his enthusiasm for diving in — literally — to whatever his students enjoyed. Even in his last January, he led hundreds of students into the surf in Sea Bright for the annual Polar Bear Plunge fundraiser. Long popular among his fellow Brothers for the comic rhymes he wrote for community celebrations, he added a new poetic form –rap– to his repertoire in his last few years, performing raps of his own composition to heighten student enthusiasm for school events. Brother Cyril, a native New Yorker, moved with his family to England as a young child, and joined the Brothers of the Christian Schools there in 1945. He returned to the US in 1986, assigned first to the LaSalle Institute in Troy, New York, and to the Christian Brothers Academy faculty two years later. For the next quarter century, until declining health forced his retirement in 2012, he seemed almost omnipresent at CBA, arriving early each morning to keep order in the corridors before classes began, teaching, working in the main office to coordinate administrative paperwork and faculty photocopying, and routinely staying long after school to lend his presence at any activities where he could be of assistance. A graduate of both the University of Cambridge (M.A.) and the University of London (M.S.), Brother Cyril initiated an AP-level geography course at CBA, and the remarkable success his students regularly achieved on the national AP exam was a source of satisfaction for him, as well as a source of pride for CBA.

CBA has been doing it for decades. Perhaps what is most valuable about both of these assessments is that we get an opportunity to solidify and codify the processes, systems, and community elements that make CBA the fantastic place that it is. In a procedural way, we can rewrite policy to reflect the long-held beliefs of the school. In a day-today cultural way, we already have a sense of what makes the school so wonderful, but these assessments allow us to pause and identify the specific things that we do everyday to manifest success in the school community.

MIDDLE STATES ASSESSMENT
WHAT QUALIFIES CBA AS AN EXCELLENT SCHOOL?
OVERVIEW: Schools accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (and the other regional accrediting bodies in the US) must go through a re-accreditation process every several years, and CBA is no exception. What is different for CBA in the current cycle is that the Academy has been selected for Middle States’ new “Sustaining Excellence” protocol, specifically designed for “leading schools,” schools that achieve high levels of student performance, understand what it takes to achieve those levels, and use strategic planning and action research.
ACCOMPLISHED TO DATE: As a participant in the “Sustaining Excellence” protocol, CBA was invited to choose its own areas of focus. In meetings held last winter, the faculty agreed to focus on the idea of general personal integrity. This focus also includes more specific topics such as cheating and academic integrity. During the 2012-13 school year faculty, parents, students responded to in-house surveys to further define the issue and next steps in the process.
CBA Today : Let’s talk a bit about the MSA focus on academic integrity. How does that relate to CBA’s mission? Dowd: The concept of integrity becomes better illuminated when it is viewed through that spiritual lens. Most educational institutions have a mission statement; contrastingly, CBA, as a Lasallian school, has a mission. Fales: CBA’s mission statement emphasizes that we “enable students to become intellectually mature and morally responsible leaders for The Church and society.” Integrity is at the heart of a morally responsible person. The grades don’t mean anything unless they are earned honestly, and that lesson is as important as any we teach here.
Dowd: Both of these ideas are generally linked to furthering the development of personal integrity. In this way, both of these assessments continue to lead us to very positive areas of student growth.
Also during this past school year, CBA conducted a thorough assessment based on Middle States’ 12 Standards of Accreditation in the areas of philosophy/mission; governance and leadership; school improvement planning; finances; facilities; school climate and organization; health and safety; educational program; assessment and evidence of student learning; student services; student life and student activities; and information resources and technology. Results of additional community surveys related to CBA’s performance on these standards helped to form an action plan, which has already resulted in improvements to campus security and facilities.
ON THE HORIZON: CBA will focus on two initiatives during the 2013-14 school year: investigating the adoption of an honor code and examining ways to encourage collaboration in the curriculum in a manner that does not compromise academic standards. After completing this research, CBA will come into the 2014-15 school year with an honor code that fits the school ( unless the community determines that such an honor code does not exist or would not serve the school’s purposes) and new strategies for encouraging academic collaboration. The first semester will be devoted to gathering data on the impact and efficacy of these new programs, followed by a visitation from the Middle States evaluation team during the second semester.

LASALLIAN MISSION ASSESSMENT
9
WHAT QUALIFIES CBA AS A GENUINE LASALLIAN SCHOOL?
OVERVIEW: The Lasallian Mission Assessment Process is guided by the vision and heritage of St. John Baptist de La Salle, with two objectives: to affirm and build upon strengths within the ministry and to identify and encourage areas for the school community’s continued growth in its efforts to live out its Catholic identity. As a Lasallian Network School, CBA undergoes this process every five to six years. Timothy Dowd, English teacher, was appointed to lead CBA through the current process, which began in the spring of 2012. The primary basis for the Lasaillian Assessment is the Five Goals of Lasallian Education: 1. We instill gospel values. 2. We are animated by and foster a spirit of faith and zeal. 3. We develop and maintain diverse programs meeting recognized standards of excellence. 4. We create and sustain respectful human relationships in community. 5. We exercise a preferential option for the poor.
ACCOMPLISHED TO DATE: In meetings during the 2012-13 school year, the faculty identified where CBA succeeds and where the school needs to grow in living out the five goals of Lasallian education. Two goals rose to the top of the priority list: to congregate more often as a spiritual community, and to offer more out-of-the-classroom experiences for students to gain a better sense of social justice. In February 2013, the visiting team met with members of the CBA community, and later presented a final report to the faculty. The report validated CBA’s triumphs while encouraging growth in the areas already identified as priorities.
ON THE HORIZON:
2
During the 2013-14 school year, Dowd will continue to chair the LMA team, which will concentrate on executing the priority goals. Specific areas of focus include: increased faculty involvement in community prayer experiences; additional opportunities for faculty education about Lasallian formation and the teachings and charism of La Salle, more assemblies featuring speakers with real-world experiences in living the Gospel and exacting working for social justice, and the expansion of student organizations dedicated to outreach. While CBA will not undergo another formal assessment for another five years, a representative from the District of Eastern North America will visit the school annually to discuss progress. CBAToday

Celebrates Commencement
and Receives a Challenge from the Class of 1963 May 23 marked the end of the high school experience for the class of 2013. But with the acceptance of a challenge from those who were in their shoes 50 years ago, CBA’s newest graduates have just begun the work of upholding the Academy’s traditions and serving as examples for the next half-century of graduates. As a tangible reminder of this responsibility, a Challenge Coin was presented to the graduates by members of the class of 1963, who were honored guests at Commencement 2013. Alumnus Jim Curley ’63 brought the idea to CBA having been inspired by a similar practice at the U.S. Naval Academy during his nephew’s graduation in 2012. “I noticed members of the class of 1962 greeting each graduate as they exited the stage,” Curley said. “They were handed a challenge coin commemorating the two classes. I felt that was a wonderful idea for the graduating class of 1963 to tie the lineage of the first 50 years of CBA.” The new graduates agreed. “It was a real honor to have the men who started it all at our graduation,” remarked Dan Andree ’13. “Their participation sends a message that the brotherhood and camaraderie everyone is always hearing about is alive as ever and is not limited to just the guys you attended school with, but instead with every Academy man who has Salutatorian Saneil Mehta ’13
walked the halls of CBA, no matter the graduating year.” Just how will the graduates approach the challenge set forth by the first Academy men? “The best way I believe the class of 2013 can uphold the traditions of the Academy is by living faith-conscious lives while most importantly being men of integrity,” said Michael Chachura ’13. “I plan on upholding the traditions of the Academy by continuing my studies in university to become an educated adult.” As Michael and his classmates prepare to continue their studies, CBA’s president, Brother Frank Byrne ’75 sent them off with these words, “Take what you have learned at CBA and walk in the footsteps of those who have gone before you. But don’t just walk. Be sure to leave footprints behind you. The world needs to know you were here, and it needs to be changed for the better because of your presence. Do not shrink from this challenge.”

Valedictorian Matthew Sopher ’13 called on his classmates to “Strive for success, work hard, and lend a helping hand.”

The class of 1963 is the first graduating class from Christian Brothers Academy. They have set the standard for the following 50 graduating classes. This Challenge Coin is given to you, the class of 2013, with the responsibility to uphold the traditions of the Academy and to set the standards for the next 50 graduating classes. We ask you to present this to the class of 2063 with the message that this was presented by the first class to graduate from CBA – 100 years ago! Good luck, God bless you, and always remember...

New Scholarship Endowments The recent celebration of CBA’s 50th anniversary and the success of Project 50th have renewed an appreciation of the legacy of our founders and all who have contributed to building the Christian Brothers Academy of today. Many have followed in their footsteps by contributing lasting gifts to ensure the viability of the CBA of tomorrow, most recently two families who established endowed funds in honor of two members of our community. Gifts to CBA’s endowment secure the Academy’s financial future by supplementing tuition revenue and annual fund gifts. An endowed fund is established to last in perpetuity: gifts are invested carefully, and only the return on investments is used to support CBA’s programs, leaving the principal to grow over time. In 2012, the Horowitz and Thornton families accepted the invitation to establish named scholarship endowments. Their generous contributions will ensure opportunities for deserving students to experience a CBA education for years to come.

2012-13 was a year full of triumphs for Colts athletics. As covered in the last CBA Today, the fall cross-country team capped a splendid season by winning the state and Northeast regional titles, earning their second trip in as many years to the Nike Cross Nationals.
In the winter, Colts swimming — the number 1 team in the state — trounced Seton Hall Prep to bring home CBA’s 4th consecutive state championship (5th overall), and hockey overpowered Delbarton to bring home the Gordon Cup. The wins continued through the rest of the winter and into spring.

Kenney, who has been coaching Colts baseball since the 1970s, is now one of only two active New Jersey coaches to have won 700 games, and he has the fourth most wins in state history. "It's a nice honor,” said Kenney after the game, “but it's an honor you accept on behalf of all the players that have played for you and all of the coaches who've coached with you on every level. It's a combination of surrounding yourself with a lot of good people." Remarking that seven of his former players are now head coaches in high school baseball, Kenney said, "I guess there's no better tribute than that. You've influenced them, and they've achieved success. I hope I was a small part of influencing their lives."

Colts tennis had a splendid season in 2013, trouncing St. Augustine for the Non-Public South A Championship and going on to win the state title in Non-Public A, defeating Don Bosco 4-1 at Mercer County Park in West Windsor. CBA now leads the state with this, its 25th title. Senior Anthony Iannacone and junior Mike Finan kept the pressure on Don Bosco, and clinched the title in the final match. Senior Mark Robinson went undefeated in 21 matches at third singles this season, but “I’m more proud of my team than myself, he said.
Track & Field The CBA track and field team finished another stellar season with a 7-0 record in dual meets and a dominating series of performances in championship meets. The Colts finished 1st in the Monmouth County Relays, the Monmouth County Championship, the Shore Conference Championship, and the Non-Public A State Sectional Championship. In the distance events, the team was led by senior Jack Boyle, who broke the CBA 3200 M record in a stunning 8:55.94. Senior Zach McDermott, 2012 national champion in the octathlon, led the sprinting/hurdling side of things with a 53.6 in the 400 M hurdles, and a 48.5 split in the 400, but was not overshadowed by freshman sprinter Michael Zupko, who now holds the freshman record in the 100, 200, and 400. The jumps were guided by juniors Mike Cresanti-Daknis and AJ Bradley in the pole vault, who cleared 14-0 and 13-6 respectively, and junior Chris Jordan in the high jump, who cleared 6-4. The throws were led by state champion senior Alex Berger in the shot put (52-5) and junior record holder Derek Trott in the javelin (188-2).
Volleyball Colts volleyball were the victors in this year’s Crusader Invitational, with a 25-14, 25-13 victory over Ridge in the championship match at Bergen Catholic’s Hoehl Gymnasium in Oradell on April 20. Senior Dan Andree had five kills, two aces and two blocks and senior James McPaul added four kills and three blocks to help lead the Colts to victory. “They stepped up and really played well,” said coach Monica Slattery. “I’m really proud of them.” Although in a hard-fought match, the Colts ceded the Shore Conference title to Southern Regional, they bested Red Bank Catholic in round 1 of the Central championships (ceding to Hillsborough in round 2), and finished the season 7th in the Star-Ledger top 20, with seniors Doug Dzema and John Gatens named to the All-Shore First Team.

An Encouraging Year for the CBA Annual Fund With the Project 50th capital campaign drawing to a close — and with our students making excellent use of the new facilities it funded — the CBA Office of Advancement has renewed its focus on our Annual Fund, the yearly campaign to raise funds in support of our school’s operating budget. Like nearly all non-public schools, CBA relies on philanthropic support to sustain and strengthen its academic, extracurricular, and athletic programs. Annual giving by alumni, parents, grandparents and friends helps maintain CBA’s excellence, and secure its future. Brother Frank and I set a very ambitious objective for our Annual Fund for the 2012-13 fiscal year. We aimed to increase Annual Fund income by more than 30% over the previous year. It is both very humbling and tremendously gratifying to announce that we — or rather our generous donors — exceeded that challenging goal. More importantly, it is clear from the number of first-time Annual Fund donors, particularly young alumni donors, that our community understands how important it is for CBA to be able to rely on their support. More detail will appear in our Annual Report 2013 later this fall. For the moment, on behalf of everyone at CBA, we would like to thank the
donors — continuing donors and first-time donors — who contributed to the success represented by the following brief statistics: • Total contributions received for the 2013 Annual Fund represented an increase of more than 35% over 2012. • The number of Annual Fund donors in 2013 was 50% higher than in 2012. • The number of alumni Annual Fund donors in 2013 was roughly double the previous year’s figure, and the increase in participation among younger alumni was particularly remarkable. Again, to all who supported CBA through Annual Fund gifts last year, or over many years, your generosity is very much appreciated. If you would like to make your 2013-14 Annual Fund gift now, you may do so using the form at right and the envelope in this issue. Or make on online gift at CBA’s website, www.cbalincroftnj.org. Sincerely, Bill Attardi
William S. Attardi ‘82
The envelope in the center of this issue may be used to make your gift to the 2013-2014 Annual Fund. Gifts are also accepted online at www.cbalincroftnj.org

Members of the community who best exemplify CBA ideals and who have brought credit and distinction to the Academy are honored with membership in the new Hall of Fame. Members of the community who best exemplify CBA ideals and who have brought credit and distinction to the Academy are honored with membership in the new Hall of Fame. Since 1990, the CBA Alumni Association has annually recognized exemplary members of the CBA community as part of the Alumni Awards program. In 2012 CBA announced that the Alumni Awards would transition into a new Hall of Fame, honoring individuals and teams for their outstanding achievements in service, athletics and professional fields. Past Alumni Awards recipients are included in the new Hall of Fame, and beginning in 2013, new inductees will be added each
year, selected for their commitment to the values upon which a CBA education is based, their devotion to the CBA community, contribution to a professional field, athletic achievement and charitable, military or civic service. In this first year of the process, the call for nominations was announced in the fall of 2012. The selection committee — comprised of the CBA president, principal, athletic director, director of advancement, alumni relations coordinator, director of academy relations, president of the Alumni Association and representatives from the Board of Trustees — began meeting in March 2013, and their decisions were announced in June. On November 22, the 2013 Hall of Fame, along with 57 recipients of Alumni
Awards from 1990 to 2012, will be formally inducted at the Hall of Fame Gala, to which all members of the CBA community are invited. Proceeds from the Gala, like all funds raised by the Alumni Association, will be directed to CBA’s financial aid program and the school’s endowment. “We are blessed to have so many alumni, parents and members of the CBA community worthy of induction into the CBA Hall of Fame,” said Brother Frank Byrne ’75. He added, “The inaugural inductees embody the spirit and commitment CBA hopes to instill in their students and the broader CBA community.”
Meet the 2013 Hall of Fame
John K. Crotty ’87 was a star on one of the best basketball teams in CBA history, and went on to be a stand-out at the University of Virginia before beginning a successful NBA career. The Miami Heat point guard is now an analyst on the Miami Heat radio network. The 11-year NBA veteran joined the broadcast team during the 200405 season and has also delivered postseason television coverage in each of Miami’s last three postseason appearances on Sun Sports. Prior to joining the Miami Heat radio broadcast team, John served as a radio
analyst for the Florida International University men’s basketball team. A Colts basketball star during his four years at CBA, John went on to the University of Virginia, where he became one of the top play-makers in Cavalier history. Following college, he played 11 seasons in the NBA before retiring after the 2002-03 season. He appeared in 477 regular season NBA games and averaged 4 points, 2.1 assists and 12.1 minutes while shooting 43.1 percent from the floor, 38.4 percent from three-point range and 83.7 percent from the foul line. He helped
the Miami Heat earn its first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals, appearing in 15 postseason contests. In 2008, John was honored as an Atlantic Coast Conference Basketball Legend. Today, in addition to his radio work, John sells commercial real estate for Colliers Abood Wood-Fay, where he is a senior vice president and partner in investment sales. John and his wife, Kara, are the proud parents of two daughters, Cassie and Connor. They currently reside in Coral Gables, Florida.

Sean Lally — is the author of The Air from Other Planets: A History of Architecture to Come, scheduled for publication by Lars Muller Publishers in October. The book “introduces an architecture built and controlled by amplifying and designing the energy within our electromagnetic, thermodynamic, acoustic, and chemical environment. This approach to design exchanges the walls and shells we have assumed to be the only type of attainable architecture for a range of material energies that develops its own shapes, aesthetics, organizational systems, and social experiences. Energy emerges as more than what fills the interior of buildings or reflects off its outer walls. Instead, it becomes its own enterprise for design innovation: it becomes the architecture itself. The Air from Other Planets is a book nostalgic for the future, rooted in the belief that the architect’s greatest attributes lie in the execution of the imagination, through speculations and projections of worlds and environments yet to exist.”

ED GARDNER ‘83 When Ed Gardner graduated from CBA and went on to Niagara University, he majored in political science, expecting to go on to law school. However, fate stepped in when he accompanied a friend to the Monmouth County Police Academy to take the chief’s exam. On a whim, Gardner took the test himself, and passed. Realizing that he was interested in a career in law enforcement after all, Gardner completed the Academy’s training program. He spent 14 years as a police officer, first in New Jersey, then in the Charleston, South Carolina, police department, receiving numerous commendations for his investigative work. In 1997, he earned his master’s degree in criminal justice from the University of South Carolina, and added teaching to his workload. He developed and taught forensics courses there, and at the Citadel and Trident Technical College. After the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, Gardner began focusing on a “more global” career. “I was lucky to have a wife who was willing to travel,” he noted. At the recommendation of a colleague, he applied to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and completed training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia. As a special agent, Gardner has had multiple deployments to Iraq and posts in Southeast Asia. His service in Iraq was recognized with two Meritorious Civilian Service Awards. In Iraq, Gardner was also afforded the unique opportunity to offer a more positive perception of America for the Iraqi people when he helped to distribute soccer uniforms and equipment to children in that country. The items were collected by students in the school his children and nephew attended.
“It’s nice to be able to do some service while you’re doing your job,” he noted. Over the years, Gardner developed a specialty as a forensic artist, something that had piqued his interest while working in Charleston. Like many forensic artists, Gardner’s interest developed out of necessity — he was frustrated by the backlog of his cases. Although his drawing ability was admittedly limited, he took a few courses in forensic art. His first sketch, which helped to positively identify a robbery suspect, convinced him that he had a knack for the job. “If it works the first time, I’ll do it forever,” he said. Now a boardcertified forensic artist, Gardner has completed more than 100 composite drawings and facial reconstructions for law enforcement agencies in cases involving homicides, armed robberies, and sexual assaults, and has served as a court-certified expert for South Carolina’s circuit court. Despite the darkness of the field, Gardner noted that there is a bright side to his work: Sometimes, it will result in a positive outcome for a wrongly accused suspect. That, he said, is his favorite part of the job.

MARC ARDITO-SULLY ‘85 Marc Ardito-Sully ‘85 e-mailed to ask about this photo, which appeared in the last CBA Today. It seems the image created a brief buzz among some of his classmates, who thought they recognized themselves. There is no record at CBA of when the photo was taken, and after seeing a digital enlargement, Marc commented: “With more clarity come more questions; the photo looks less like us now. Debate rages. Are the sneakers and glasses of 1980s vintage? Hair styles could fit, but the standard CBA gym gear does not help. And just what are we/they celebrating on that side of campus? Whether this is from ‘85 or ‘86 or not, isn’t it hilarious how quickly we “find” ourselves or friends in photos of classes we were never part of? Unless an old CBA photo reeks of a particular era - vintage cars, awful
1970’s haircuts everyone seems vaguely familiar. That rather obnoxious desire to declare our four years the most exceptional in CBA history fades as years pass. It’s neat these days to be considered part of a greater common whole.” Editor’s note: Any help with finally identifying the photo would be much appreciated! Please e-mail alumni@cbalincroftnj.org.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” This statement, by the African-American philosopher Howard Thurman, appears prominently on the website of Fields of Growth (FoG), the nonprofit founded in 2009 by Kevin Dugan ’97. Clearly, it is an idea that Dugan has taken to heart. He recently left a successful career as a college lacrosse coach to become full-time director of Fields of Growth, seeking to harness the passion of the lacrosse community into positive social impact in developing countries. The vision for the organization was shaped while Dugan was head lacrosse coach at the University of Scranton. His experiences as a leader in Scranton’s international service program led him to El Salvador, Ecuador, Jamaica, and Uganda. As a clinician for the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL), he was sent around the world to consult in the development of the FIL’s newest member nations. Dugan’s work in international service and his travels with the FIL led to powerful intersection of passions — leadership, service and lacrosse. A 2001 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where he was a member of the Fighting Irish men’s lacrosse team. Dugan went on to earn an MBA at Wheeling Jesuit University where he served as an assistant coach for two seasons. He had a brief stint at Merrill Lynch before making a career change to college lacrosse coaching, and made stops at Yale and Scranton before spending two years as the director of operations for the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse program. He began Fields of Growth during those years,

and now devotes all his time to the organization and its work. Fields of Growth has been most active recently in Uganda and Jamaica, where FoG’s Global Leadership Experience (GLE) program places high school and college lacrosse players from the developed world in a position to coach, serve, and learn. In Uganda, the program is headquartered in the capital city of Kampala, home to the Uganda Lacrosse Union. The group’s primary development efforts are based four hours from Kampala in the Masaka District where FoG works with a local community organization in a 250-student primary school and other community based projects. In Jamaica, FoG’s GL program is headquartered in Kingston, the nations capital, which is also the home of the Jamaica Lacrosse Association. In addition to growing the game of lacrosse, FoG has partnered with the Jamaica Volunteers Foundation and the St. Patrick’s Foundation to support their social service and educational programs in the Kingston city trash dump community of Riverton. FoG will also soon begin working with the Jamaica Surfing Association’s youth development program, located just east of Kingston in Eleven Mile Bull Bay. More information on Fields of Growth, along with details on the organization’s volunteer programs and opportunities to support its mission with donations of funds, sports equipment, and supplies can be found at fieldsofgrowthintl.org.
