Saint Joseph's College has established a memorial endowment that will honor and continue the legacy of Frank Fixaris, a man who meant so much to sports enthusiasts. In this spirit, Saint Joseph's is partnering with family, friends, colleagues, organizations and sports fans to build an enduring legacy. The Frank Fixaris Memorial Endowment will establish academic scholarships and provide stipends to middle school and high school athletes enabling them to attend sports camps. The “Fix Cup” Hockey tournament will be an annual event to benefit the endowment.
