The last time Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel was at
Jacksonville Municipal Stadium as a Gator, he completed 16 of 23 passes and
threw four touchdowns all before halftime during the 1996 annual Florida-Georgia
football game.
Wuerffel is
returning to Jacksonville in hopes of scoring another touchdown at the same location
on May 15 for his non-profit organization, Desire Street Ministries.
Wuerffel, who led
the Florida Gators to their first national championship that same year, will be
the keynote speaker at a luncheon at the stadium’s Touchdown Club to raise
awareness for Desire Street Ministries.

and Bob served on the Tournament Executive Committee.
The Third Annual SUBARU BASCA Golf Classic was recently held
at the Eagle Harbor Golf Club. “This is
the first year of having SUBARU as the Title Sponsor and reflects their high
level of involvement and support within the community,” said Ron Dill,
Tournament Chairman. The event was a
huge success for the BASCA organization of Orange Park and was the largest
tournament ever held at the Eagle Harbor Golf Club. It was attended by 144 golfers, including
numerous sponsors. The proceeds this
year will go towards the purchase of a much-needed handicapped accessible
passenger van that will be used for work and activity transportation. “The Friends of BASCA are extremely pleased
with the overwhelming support from sponsors, participants, and volunteers to
made this event a success. Without
participants, we wouldn’t be able to have a tournament; without sponsors, we
wouldn’t be able to reach our financial goal; and without volunteers, we
wouldn’t have great prizes or an organized event,” said Ron.

of the torch” as our school has welcomed a new principal, Ms.
Sandy Mead.
