Bob Driscoll, Friend Of Athletics

• Bob Driscoll has been supporting Nazareth athletics since 1985 when his daughter Kristen began her high school athletic career. It continued on as his son Brian took the football field from 1989-1993. Driscoll can be found at nearly every Nazareth Academy sporting event, even some 25 years after his children graduated. He says, “I consider sending my children to Nazareth one of the best decisions I have made. Just as they have made lifelong friends from Nazareth, I too value the relationships I have developed as a member of the Nazareth family.”
