As the President and CEO of JAG Physical Therapy, Gallucci’s generous contribution has endowed the Staten Island institution with a premier facility dedicated to the health and performance of its student-athletes.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony, held on March 3rd at 11 AM, was a celebration of this transformative addition to the school’s athletic program and marked the beginning of National Athletic Training Month, championing the healthcare work that trainers provide for athletes. While this event officially marked the opening of the facility, the JAG Physical Therapy Athletic Training Center has already been serving Monsignor Farrell’s student-athletes, providing them with top-tier care, injury prevention, and rehabilitation services.

Monsignor Farrell President Lou Tobacco, Class of 1990, expressed his deep appreciation for Gallucci’s generosity and dedication to the school’s mission:
“John Gallucci embodies everything that it means to be a Vir Fidelis – a faithful man. His generosity and commitment to Monsignor Farrell will have a lasting impact on generations of Lions. Thanks to John and JAG Physical Therapy, our student-athletes now have access to a world-class training facility right here on campus, ensuring they receive the best care possible. We are truly grateful for this incredible gift.”
Gallucci, reflecting on his connection to Monsignor Farrell and his motivation for giving back, shared:
“As a proud graduate of Monsignor Farrell High School, it is an incredible honor to give back to the place that helped shape me into the person I am today. The JAG Physical Therapy Athletic Training Center represents a commitment to the health, safety, and success of every student-athlete who walks through these doors. I am thrilled to see Farrell’s athletes benefit from top-tier care, and I look forward to watching them thrive on and off the field.”
