On November 30, 2021, Molloy joined communities and non-profits around the world by participating in #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving and unity. Molloy highlighted three special funds that impact Student Enrichment, Mission, and Scholarship, which our community generously supported:
- The Murphy Scholars Program: Created in honor of Dr. Patrick Murphy, this program provides grants to students who enroll in unique summer programs at a college/university of their choosing.
- The Brother Declan Murray Fund: Provides grants directly impacting Molloy’s retreat, encounter, and summer programs, all held at the Marist Brothers’ Center at Esopus.
- The Lou Santos Scholarship: Awards a four-year scholarship to Catholic students from New York City with economic hardships.
Stanners and friends also took advantage of a special Gift Match Challenge to increase the impact of their gift! Our generous benefactors offered a 2:1 match for each dollar raised for the Br. Declan Murray Fund and the Lou Santos Scholarship, up to $50,000.
In Total, including the gift match challenges, foundation gifts, and individual gifts, $125,000 was raised in support of our Giving Tuesday initiatives! This is an incredible act of kindness by our community, and we are so thankful for your care and support.
“We thank everyone who responds so generously to #GivingTuesday and everyday,” said Craig Katinas ’93, Executive Director of Development. “These gifts have a direct impact on scholarships, student enrichment programs, retreats, summer camps, and so much more. On behalf of the Marist Brothers and all of us at Molloy, THANK YOU!”
