2009 Royal Blue Award: John and Joan Kimball

2009 Royal Blue Award: John and Joan Kimball

Presented to the individual(s) outside the college community who has displayed extraordinary support of and assistance to the athletic department mission and to the Saint Joseph's College student-athletes. John and Joan have been at every home and away field hockey and softball game in which their daughter Jillian has played, with very few exceptions, even following the softball team to Florida each of the past two springs. They contribute both time and tangible goods to every single fundraiser each team does. John and Joan led the charge towards the softball parents' purchase of a gas grill this spring, actually buying one and transporting it here to campus to be stored in the softball shed, so that the group of parents could grill for the girls after each weekend home game. They are very involved, very supportive parents.
