Sean Flynn, President/CEO
Flynn & O’Hara Uniforms

I am the second generation of Flynn and O'Hara uniforms. We are a school uniform retailer located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We were started 50 years ago by my father.

Catholic education has been very important to me and to my family. My mother was a first-generation American born. My father was a couple of generations later; everything revolved around the Catholic Church in the Catholic school. All my cousins, everybody went through Catholic school. And we came away with such a strong faith, and just a sense of community. And that's one of the things it doesn't matter where you are. And it's one of the key things Catholic schools do.

Still, since our founding 50 years ago, Catholic schools have been our most loyal supporters and best customers from the get-go. We have always partnered with the schools; our ability to support them as a corporate sponsor is very simple.

We've been supporting the BLOCS Gala and any BLOCS initiative for as long as BLOCS has been here. The support we provide to the Gala is a no-brainer for us. It's a great opportunity to see and showcase the students from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to make sure other leaders in the community get to know that we are very happy to be a BLOCS sponsor to create a world in an environment where our students will achieve where they will thrive, where they will become the next community of leaders.
