About the Quony Cup
In the spring of 2008 and 2009, Chris organized a Colorado College community soccer tournament called the “Answer to Cancer.” Proceeds from the tournament went to the American Cancer Society in 2008 and to a local hospital to aid young patients living with cancer in 2009. This tournament meant so much to him as he saw both of his grandfathers battle cancer. In 2009, the tournament became even more special to him when he found out his lacrosse teammate, Evan Spirito, was diagnosed with cancer.

To continue Chris’ legacy, Chris’ CC friends decided to continue the tournament- renaming it “The Quony Cup.” (We found out that this was what Chris originally wanted to name the tourney – so we know he is smiling 🙂 !). Every spring, the Quony Cup includes multiple teams from the CC community, a live band and a lot of food (even a roast pig meal) for the hungry! When Evan lost his brave fight against cancer in 2011, the Quon family felt strongly about having the Quony Cup honor both Chris and Evan. Their jersey numbers #21 (Chris) and #19 (Evan) are on every Quony Cup t-shirt, and both of their jerseys hang in the lacrosse locker room (thank you Sean!). All proceeds from the Quony Cup continue to be donated to the American Cancer Society.
Over the years David has always attended and often Chris’ sisters and the Spirito family has been able to attend as well. Many of Chris’ old teammates and some of his Lake Forest pals have also made the trek. Amazingly, the tournament is now run by lacrosse team members who did not even know Chris or Evan, but would like to continue the annual event. We are so grateful to the Colorado College staff, the many CC students who coordinate the event, the CC lacrosse and soccer team and coaches, and Chris’ pals- especially Toby Cohen- who continue to support the event in person or in spirit. THANK YOU!
