The Sullivan family has started a foundation to honor former Albertus Magnus star Dan Sullivan, who passed away on Oct. 31 of last year. The Dan Sullivan Foundation will host its first event on Saturday, May 5 at Albertus Magnus High School.
Tickets to the event cost $100 and include food, beverage and entertainment. There will be a $10,000 grand prize drawing during the evening as well.
Proceeds from the event will help provide scholarships to a graduating male and female basketball player from Albertus Magnus High School and a boy and girl from St. Margaret School in Pearl River who will attend high school at Albertus. (Sullivan attended St. Margaret’s before moving on to Albertus). The Foundation will also provide other charitable donations.
Sullivan is a former all-county basketball player at Albertus for coach Tom Collins. He graduated in 1972, scoring a career-high 40 points during a game as a senior. Sullivan remained in Rockland for college, attending Dominican College where he became a 1,000-point scorer.
Sullivan is a member of the Hall of Fame at both schools and is scheduled for induction into the Rockland County Sports Hall of Fame on April 29. We are looking to promote our event on May 5th st Albertus Magnus HS.
For tickets and donations to the foundation, contact Dan’s brother, Jim Sullivan, by phone at 845-548-2040; via e-mail at info@dansullivanfoundation.com; or by mail at the following address:
