Prayers for Kenny Anderson \u201989 and a Speedy Recovery<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>We ask the Molloy community to join us in prayer for Kenny Anderson \u201989<\/strong>, who is recovering after suffering a stroke on February 23rd. According to the NY Daily News<\/a>, Kenny has been released from the hospital, and a family member has shared that he is resting and improving. We wish Kenny a very speedy recovery.<\/p>\n

Kenny Anderson was a major part of many tournament wins and back to back City Championship teams at Molloy (\u201885-\u201886, \u201886-\u201887). He was a four-time Parade All-American and the second overall pick in the 1991 NBA Draft. Kenny enjoyed an exciting 15 year career in the NBA (1991-2005) playing for the Nets, Hornets, Trail Blazers, Celtics, SuperSonics, Pacers, Hawks, and Clippers. He amassed 10,789 points, 2,641 rebounds, and 5,196 assists during his professional career. More recently, Kenny starred in a documentary about his life called Mr. Chibbs <\/em>(2017), and in 2018 was named head coach of men\u2019s basketball at Fisk University in Nashville.<\/p>\n

Champagnat Society Volunteers During Winter Break <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over winter break, students in Molloy\u2019s St. Marcellin Champagnat Society (SMCS) volunteered during their vacation time to help out at the Ronald McDonald House of Little Neck and the Forest Hills Food Bank.<\/p>\n

At Ronald McDonald House, students cooked and served brunch to families with children who were staying in the adjacent hospital. Ronald McDonald House opens their doors to these families rent-free while their children are receiving care at the hospital. 11 Stanners set up a buffet and served up eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, bagels, and more.<\/p>\n

The next stop was the Forest Hills Food Bank. The SMCS crew prepared many bags of assorted vegetables for pickup. Students rotated between the packing room, fulfilling online orders, and assisting with pick-ups.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two trips were both excellent,\u201d said Mr. Brian Klimas \u201898<\/strong>, an SMCS moderator who coordinated both visits. \u201cThe kids had an awesome time and they said they can\u2019t wait to go back. We are looking at dates this spring.\u201d Ms. Sabina Kobinski \u201904<\/strong>, an SMCS faculty volunteer, said that \u201cthe food pantry was a great experience, and I love that our students were able to interact with the neighborhood residents.\u201d Br. Pat Hogan<\/strong>, one of the founders of SMCS, was proud of the society\u2019s recent charitable efforts. \u201cWhat a great experience for Molloy students. It is one more chance for the St. Marcellin Champagnat Society to get involved locally. What a gift to the student body.\u201d (Photos courtesy of SMCS<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\t\t
