Celebrating Accomplishments Made Together

When he passed, there was so much love and support from not just his former teammates, but also the entire program. And you can say the same with the track team, for which he did shot-put, the economics club, the social studies club, and pretty much any activity Tom was a part of. He gave so much to the Chaminade community, and it was really special to see how many people he had touched in such a brief amount of time.

Over four years, you make some really special bonds with your fellow classmates at Chaminade, but Tom Miloscia was much more than a classmate. I never heard a bad thing spoken about him, and I can honestly say there wasn’t a person who didn’t like him. At graduation, when his name was called and he walked across that stage, the room filled with thunderous applause. All of us had been rooting for him since day one, not just because he was our classmate, but because he was our brother and friend.

All the prayers and the messages and the love and support had been our way of helping him along the road, and to see him receive his diploma was one of the greatest moments over our four years. The Class of 2015 would not have been the same without him, and it was an honor for him to be with us at the finish, even after everything he had gone through. After he had passed, although we were scattered across the country at our different schools, there was such an overwhelming output of love and support and gratitude from everyone for having known one of our greatest Flyers, and I know that he impacted not only my life but all of our lives in a tremendous way.

Tom was, and still is, my role model and my hero. He accomplished so much in his brief time on this Earth, and with a smile on his face every day. I am forever indebted to him for the way he taught me how to live, and the entire Chaminade family was changed forever by how he left his legacy. He is truly the epitome of a Chaminade Man.”

Can you think of anyone more deserving of a named scholarship? Our goal is to fund a fully named scholarship to permanently memorialize Thomas. This comes at a cost of $300,000, and we are prepared to persevere until we reach our goal. It’s what Thomas would have done.
