St Pius X College would like to continue its ongoing support for Liam and his White Knight Foundation. If you are able to assist with any suitable donations for prizes for this evening, or perhaps consider arranging your own company/family/friends table then please advise by return email to Rick Russo on rrusso@stpiusx.nsw.edu.au   

The White Knight Foundation was founded by Old Boy Liam Knight who, while a Year 12 student at the College, was a victim of a vicious attack where a 2.8 metre steel pole was thrown by a perpetrator and subsequently pierced Liam through his skull.  The Foundation raises vital funds to assist young victims of violence and their families on their path to recovery. The WKF is also keen to continue its work in raising awareness of the outcomes and effects that random acts of violence can have, with a particular emphasis on the dangers of teenage recklessness. 

Liam deserves our ongoing support, so please get on board if you can. Thank you!
