In times like these, it is important for us to remember that as members of an academic and social community in the Catholic, Spiritan tradition, we should come together as a source of support and hope for each other.” In the coming days, Holy Ghost Prep will provide extensive support and counseling to anyone experiencing feelings of anxiety or loss over this tragedy. In lieu of flowers, the Tutko family requests that donations be made in Yuriy's name to Holy Ghost Prep. ------------------------------------------- For anyone wishing to make a Donation Those of you who were at Harvard know of the tragedy suffered byTony Figliola and the Holy Ghost team when one of their students, Yuri, died at the start of the tournament. To compound the tragedy, the family is in financial straits and is in need at this difficult time to cover the attendant expenses. For any team that feels it appropriate, a donation of just $50, made out to Holy Ghost Preparatory, addressed to : attention Tony Figliola for Yuri and family Holy Ghost Preparatory 2429 Bristol Pike Bensalem , PA 19020 with any condolences would be a help.
