Fundraiser for Wyckoff YMCA Coach's Son Hurt in Freak Softball Accident

'Freak' accident in June caused brain injury, bleeding, and swelling, Y says.

The following was posted on the Wyckoff YMCA's website.

Many of you know the Y’s Sports Director, Coach Pat O’Hagan. On Thursday June 5, Pat’s son Patrick was injured in a freak softball accident and suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury with bleeding and swelling. He required immediate surgery and now faces a second surgery along with a long road ahead of therapy and recovery.

Our members who know Coach Pat have expressed concern and want to know what they can do to help. Below is a link to an online fundraising initiative created by friends of the O’Hagan family.

So far, the fund has raised over $50,000. If you wish to contribute via Patrick’s online giving website, please click here.
