Gladiator Fund raises money to help NHP alum fight cancer

The Island Now

More than 150 New Hyde Park High School alumni, friends and family came out to play golf and raise $10,000 for Neil Duggan, father of two, in his fight with cancer. 

Duggan’s ex-football coaches, Angelo Giugliano and John Calo were in attendance to honor Duggan at the 23rd annual Gladiator Golf Classic. 

“New Hyde Park is like a family and when someone needs help, we all come together to help,” Giugliano said. 

New Hyde Park classes from 1962 through 1994 were in attendance. 

“It was a great day of golf and a great celebration back at The Inn at New Hyde Park,” added Dan Connor, chairman of the Gladiator Fund.

The New Hyde Park football team of 1976, a team Duggan played with, were there to honor Duggan and his family, his wife Carol, his son Neil and daughter Samantha.
