(Friday, January 4, 2002) -- Mike Fennell, the highly successful McQuaid baseball coach and lung cancer survivor, will receive the Maj. Donald Holleder Award at the 53rd Rochester Press-Radio Club Day of Champions banquet, Jan. 23, at the Riverside Convention Center.

The award is presented annually to a person who has exhibited a high level of sportsmanship, courage and achievement consistent with Holleder, the former Aquinas Institute and Army football star who was killed during the Vietnam War in 1967.
