The CYO Community Awards Reception celebrated individuals dedicated to youth sports on Staten Island, highlighting the contributions of coaches, officials, and administrators. Carmine Angioli received the Spirit of the Catholic Youth Organization Award, presented by Mary Lee, the wife of the late Jerry Lee. Angioli's acceptance speech encouraged attendees to recruit new volunteers for youth sports. Scott Rothman was honored as Sports Official of the Year for his nearly 50 years of refereeing CYO games. The event emphasized the importance of volunteerism in fostering community engagement and youth development.
While volunteerism is often carried out without expectation of recognition, plenty of contributors were celebrated for their decades of dedication to youth sports on Staten Island.
Angioli encouraged attendees to actively seek out others interested in youth sports, urging current volunteers to become 'recruiters' themselves.
This year's Sports Official of the Year honor was presented to Scott Rothman, who has been refereeing CYO games for almost 50 years.
Mary Lee, Jerry's wife, presented the award to Angioli, who said that "my family and I cannot think of a better person to receive the award."
