"Spirit of 76" Brings the Community Together
Friday, October 18th commemorated the life of a very special member of the Montini Catholic family. Family, friends and fans paid tribute to former student, and football team member, Johnny Weiger, at their annual Charity Game benefiting the JAW Foundation. The non-profit organization was founded by the Weiger Family to support Pediatric Adolescent Leukemia Support (PALS), and inspired by their son, former Montini student and football player, Johnny Weiger. JAW volunteers devote their time to raising funds for families with children undergoing treatment for leukemia in the hopes of easing their financial burden. Bronco and Meteors (De La Salle Catholic High School) fans were given the opportunity to donate to this worthy cause by purchasing t-shirts, split-the-pot and raffle tickets before the game. At the end of the evening, close to $4,000 was raised for the foundation. In conjunction with the charity game and prior to the varsity kick-off, the Weiger Family presented their 7th Annual "Spirit of '76" Award in memory of Johnny to senior and team captain, Patrick Peters. Last year's recipient, Frank Conforti III '19 joined Johnny's family on the field to present the award. Read more about the The Charity Game and Johnny Weiger's Story
