Evans Bank donates to Bishop Timon Football Program

Fellow Timon ‘00 alum and West Seneca native, Evan Maloney, now branch manager at Evans Bank Lancaster location gets $1,000 to sponsor the Bishop Timon Football Program.

Maloney, who is a friend of Charlie & Paul, found out what little funding the Timon football program received in comparison to the Catholic big-wigs Canisius and St. Joe’s. (upward of $80,000 each school compared to Timon’s $11,000, which includes paying the coaches).

Although Timon football has not been a championship team in several years, it’s good to know people still have faith and give support back to where they came from. That is the nature of a true Buffalonian.

Maloney heard of Comerford and Fitzpatrick taking the reins and immediately jumped on board. Evan, a former Timon athlete and Nazareth College basketball player, knows a good athletic program stems from dedicated coaches.

“I know for a fact that Charlie and Fitz will take this program where it needs to be. They’ve got that South Buffalo competitive drive that will carry this team for the long haul.”

Evans Bank has donated $1,000 to the Timon football program in hopes that it’s use for upgraded equipment and/or tournament expenses can give the two new coaches an unexpected quick breath of relief, while the calm before the storm of what is high school football begins.
