Bronx, N.Y. (December 19, 2014) – Several Fordham University student-athletes played Santa on Wednesday, paying a visit to the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY, to distribute gifts to the patients.
Â
The visit was arranged by former Ram Dr. Joseph T. Boyer, FCRH '84, an attending in Pediatric Pulmonology, a former football Ram.

"The happiness and excitement that the Fordham student-athletes brought to the children is indescribable," said Dr. Boyer. "Some of the kids had a little shock and awe by the size of the football players but the student-athletes are role models. They bring out the best in the kids. When the kids see them, even if they are having a bad day, they get excited."
