Our Annual Summer fling at the shore will be held at Lighthouse Pointe in Wildwood, NJ
on Saturday afternoon August 3, 2013 from 2PM to 6 PM. It's a great time
and a chance to reminisce with Falcons of all ages.
FALCONWAY was
established in 1989, as a unique appeal to our alumni and friends to raise money
in a combined appeal to benefit our two favorite charities - Northeast Catholic Alumni Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc.; and the Oblates of St. Francis deSales.
Since its inception the Appeal has raised over 5 million dollars. The drive begins on November 1 and concludes on October 31 of the following year. You can forward your tax deductible contribution to
either one or both organizations. Checks should be made payable to FALCONWAY and mailed to P. 0. Box
7005, Philadelphia, PA 19149-0005. Use the form to indicate your choice(s) of recipients. Print member/donation form.
