St. Anastasia's Varsity Boys Basketball Coach Kyle Meakim was honored by the Philadelphia Chapter of Coaches vs. Cancer with the 2025 Speedy Morris Service Award. The honor is bestowed annually to a volunteer who embodies the longtime Philadelphia coaching legend's commitment to Coaches vs. Cancer and the Philadelphia sports community.
Meakim’s involvement with the Coaches vs. Cancer School & Youth Initiative began in 2016 when he was the Varsity Boys Head Coach at St. Bernadette, where he coached for 16 years, and started the St. Bernadette vs. St. Dorothy Coaches vs Cancer Challenge. He also started the St. Anastasia vs St. Pius X Coaches vs. Cancer Challenge in 2022. These events have raised over $50,000 to help eradicate cancer by funding lifesaving research and improve the lives of those affected by this disease.
Meakim is also the Vice-President and Coach for 3 Leaf Basketball, a high school basketball exchange program between Philadelphia and Ireland.
