Heartfelt Hoban Run a success
The tradition of racing for a good cause continued on Sunday September 21, as Xaverian High School hosted its 26th Annual Police Officer Christopher Hoban Memorial 5-Mile Run.
The Hoban Run is dedicated to the Xaverian alum and former officer who was killed in the line of duty in 1988. He was 26 years old. Along with being a fundraiser for providing scholarships, the day also serves as a tribute to a hero of the community.
“It is a true testament to this community that we keep alive the memory of Police Officer Christopher Hoban,” said State Senator Marty Golden, who spoke at the event along with several local dignitaries. “His bravery, his courage and his service to our city have and will continue to inspire all of us who run, walk and donate in his name, to support the next generation of New York’s heroes.”
