2 GREETINGS FROM THE YMCA

Welcome and Good Evening,

It is with great pleasure that I greet all assembled here tonight in celebration of the YMCA of Greater Bergen County’s 49th Annual Sports Award Banquet.

The Y is a powerful association of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in kids, our health and our neighbors. That’s why strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side by side with our neighbors in our communities to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Congratulations to tonight’s honorees and thank you for all that you do in your schools and communities. We recognize each of you for your personal and ath- letic achievements, and for instilling in each other a collective sense of what is right and what is good. These are values that you have learned while competing in sports, and values by which you have chosen to live.

Thank you to the members of the Sports Award Committee for their hard work and dedication in putting this event together. It is truly one of Bergen County’s premier events.

Finally, I would like to thank all the businesses, corporations and organizations participating in this year’s banquet that provided financial support for Y pro- grams that serve the greater Bergen County community.

Again, congratulations to all here tonight and best wishes for continued success.

Nelson Louis President and CEO YMCA of Greater Bergen County

We count on the generosity of our members and partners to keep our doors open to whomever needs a place to go to help them be more healthy, confident, connected and secure. All proceeds from tonight’s event will provide Y scholarships for those in Annual need or program subsidy for Y Youth and Teen programs. The Y would like to acknowledge and thank the following Foundations for Support their support through grants of Y Youth and Teen Development Programs.

4 PERSON OF THE YEAR Bob Carcich

Bob Carcich, affectionately known by many as “Cich”, recently retired as the second longest-standing high school athletic director in Bergen County. Bob dedicated his life to the high school athletic community in Emerson, serving 30 years as the high school’s athletic director and acting as a leader in local, county and state sports.

Bob launched his career at Emerson as a biology and AP biology teacher. He taught until 1985 when he switched gears and became the athletic director and disciplinarian.

Bob is one of Bergen County’s most successful baseball coaches, winning three state championships, seven state sectional championships and 14 league championships. He has a win/loss record of 526-227. His varsity baseball team won back to back championships in 2001 and 2002. Bob’s team earned five sportsmanship awards from the baseball umpires associa- tion for exemplifying leadership, ethical behavior and fair play.

For 10 years, Bob served on the executive committee of the Bergen County Coaches Association. He also served as the secretary/treasurer of the New Jersey Interscholastic Conference, chairman of the Bergen County Baseball Committee and president of the Bergen County Scholastic League. Bob has also served as a high school basketball official for many years.

According to ’s current athletic director and long time friend, Tom Curry, Bob has a great feel for coach- ing kids and they love playing for him.

His many awards and accomplishments include 2011 NJ State Baseball Coaches Association Man of the Year, three-time Bergen County Coach of the Year for baseball (1992, 2001, 2007), Baldwin Hunt Service Award to Bergen County Baseball, YMCA Nick Saingas Award in 2002, chairman of Bergen County Baseball for 29 years, BCSL/NJIC Baseball Coach of the Year 12 times, Ath- letic Director of the Year in Bergen County 2010, NJSCA Hall of Fame 2008, IAABO Basketball Official for 35 years, officiated two NJ Tournament of Champions for basketball and officiated the BCWCA basketball final.

Bob is a graduate of Bergen Catholic High School where he played baseball and was named All-League in 1970. In Bob’s high school yearbook, Bob wrote that he wanted to major in biology and work with sports. That dream was fulfilled thanks to a full academic scholarship to attend Providence College.

During Bob’s last game at Emerson, his wife, Judy, invited some former players from various decades to support him. “It’s all about the relationships,” said Bob, “not always about the wins and losses.”

Bob has three children, Michele, Robert and Michael, and two step-children, Kelly and Tracy. He is also grandfather to Kylie, Morgan and Hailey.
