Harold
Alfond learned many of life's
important lessons on the playing field. He excelled at sports in
high school, where he was captain of the basketball team and quarterback
for the football team. He credits much of his success in business
to the lessons learned from participating in sports: it takes hard
work, a team effort and cooperation. His interest in sports remained
his life's hobby even while he achieved great success in the shoe
manufacturing business. Alfond has donated millions of dollars in
charitable gifts to build recreational and sports-related facilities
to benefit young people in towns, schools, colleges and universities
throughout the state of Maine, including the Harold Alfond Center
at Saint Joseph's college. For his lifelong commitment to helping
young people learn life's lessons through sports, Saint Joseph's
College proudly inducts Harold Alfond into its Athletic Hall of
Fame. |
