Former Lansdale Catholic High School football star Ryan Quigley is among the injured in the Jan. 1 New Orleans attack that left at least ten people dead, writes Dan Sokil for The Reporter.
“The Lansdale Catholic Community is praying for the full healing and complete recovery of Ryan Quigley, Lansdale Catholic Class of 2016 and Princeton University Class of 2020,” wrote the school in a Facebook post. “We are incredibly proud to count Ryan among our graduates, and we are inspired by the ways in which his LC classmates are coming together to support his family during this difficult time.”
Quigley was with fellow Princeton University graduate and football player Tiger Bech, who did not survive the attack. The two had worked at a brokerage firm in New York City and traveled to New Orleans with friends to celebrate the New Year.
Quigley’s former classmates Jack Kelly and Dom Gambone started a GoFunMe page titled “Supporting Ryan Quigley’s Recovery and Honoring Tiger Bech.” The fundraising goal was met by Thursday morning.
Quigley is currently undergoing treatment “as he begins a road to recovery,” states the fundraising page.
