The nation rallies around Central Catholic grad
NFL players on the field, fans in the stadium, and millions watching on TV held their breath, cried, and prayed as they witnessed Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapse during the Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2, 2023.
Paramedics worked for 19 minutes to keep Damar alive before the ambulance could rush him to a nearby hospital. Stadiums throughout the NFL lit their immense scoreboards in Bills blue with the words “Pray for Damar.”
Born and raised in McKees Rocks, Damar was a standout player at Central Catholic High School and the University of Pittsburgh before the Bills drafted him in 2020. Central Catholic immediately organized prayer to a toy drive he had organized in 2020 for his hometown.
Read more about Damar on page 26 of Pittsburgh Catholic magazine and click below to listen to Central Catholic coaches reflect on Damar on Catholic Education Plus.
