Runners keep slain cop’s legacy alive
Xaverian H.S. hosted the 34th annual P.O. Chris Hoban Memorial Run Sept. 18.
The event included races for adults and kids, along with a barbecue. Proceeds went to the Hoban Scholarship, which provides tuition assistance to Xaverian students whose parents are New York City police officers.
Hoban, a graduate of the Shore Road school, was 26 when he was murdered in the line of duty in 1988.
This year’s run also honored Frank Siller, CEO and chairperson of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Siller is an old friend of the Hoban family.
