Thank You!
On behalf of the Dan Sullivan Foundation, thank you to all who supported our annual event on April 6, 2013 at Albertus Magnus. Through your continuing generosity, we exceeded our fundraising goal. This means the Foundation can continue to help our Rockland neighbors who need a hand and award scholarships to students at area schools…all in Dan’s name. He would be honored and humbled at this tribute you have all made possible.
How fortunate that we can come together and have a great party, all while contributing to a good cause. A shout out to our hosts at Albertus Magnus, a place Dan loved, for their hospitality and volunteer support. A thank you too to the gifted musicians who donated their time and talent: Joe D’Urso and Stone Caravan, Tommy Dunne, Jan Lynch, Kevin Cronin and Tim O’Donoghue, and to Phil Costa for his great photos.
Each of you who bought a ticket, made a donation, or offered your support in some way have built Dan’s Foundation and we are extremely grateful for your involvement.
It was a great party on April 6th , and we hope you will join us again next year, when the Sun will shine again.
With deep appreciation,
The Dan Sullivan Foundation.

BASKETBALL TEAMS TO HOST 1ST ANNUAL DANIEL SULLIVAN MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT
Orangeburg, N.Y. (11/12/12) The Dominican College women’s and men’s basketball teams will host the first annual Daniel Sullivan Memorial Tournament November 16th-18th on Coach Baxter Court at the Hennessy Center. The women’s portion of the tournament will take place on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, while the men will be in action Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.
Daniel Sullivan, a 1976 graduate of Dominican College, was a four-year member of the men’s basketball team. He ranks eighth in the Charger 1,000 point club with 1492 career points and was inducted into the Dominican College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995.
He was a life-long Rockland County resident who tragically passed away on October 31, 2011.
In his memory, the Dan Sullivan Foundation was established to provide charitable contributions to those facings life’s most difficult challenges and to provide scholarships to students who reflect the qualities that define Dan’s life. The Foundation’s work honors the life of a man who had a positive impact and was truly loved. There is no greater way to honor Dan’s memory than to spread some joy, offer a helping hand or help a young person reach their goals. In life, Dan always tried to make things “alright” for others. The Dan Sullivan Foundation will help continue that legacy.

Hi Mr. Sullivan,
My mom and I have gone over the day and your touching speech and the honor the Sullivan Foundation has given me. I didn’t get a chance to see you after the ceremony but wanted to let you know how appreciative I am and how much this means to me. I had the opportunity to speak with Mrs. Sullivan one-on-one afterward and I will never forget that moment or the memory of Mr. Sullivan and what a special person he was. I can promise you today that his memory will be kept alive in my heart and mind and in that of my family.
Thank you again for making today so special.
John Thompson
