Giving Tuesday (November 30, 2021)
ABOUT GIVING TUESDAY
On November 30, 2021, Archbishop Molloy High School joins communities and non-profits around the world by participating in #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving and unity. On this day, Molloy highlights three special funds that impact Student Enrichment, Mission, and Scholarship, which you can support:
- 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 can also take advantage of a special Gift Match Challenge to increase the impact of their gift! Please continue reading for more information.
LET'S REACH OUR GOAL

The Murphy Scholars of Archbishop Molloy High School attend unique and inspiring summer leadership programs at colleges and universities. To date, Scholars have participated in enrichment programs at Rutgers University, Princeton University, Stony Brook University, Wake Forest University, and the United States Naval Academy.
Through the Fund For Molloy, the Murphy Scholars Program provides grants up to $1,000 per student, empowering them to enjoy this enriching program.

ABOUT THIS FUND
Br. Declan Murray, FMS, was a beloved educator and mentor who taught at Molloy for over 50 years. Br. Declan helped pioneer Molloy's retreat and encounter programs, as well as Freshman Camp, all held at the Marist Brothers' Center at Esopus. This tradition has had a lasting impact on thousands of Stanners since its inception in 1977. Esopus is a home away from home for many in our community.
To celebrate such an inspiring legacy, alumni created the Br. Declan Murray Fund to:
- Provide scholarships for deserving students to attend the Freshmen Camp.
- Provide grants to help address capital costs for the summer, retreat, and encounter programs to keep these experiences accessible and affordable.
This Giving Tuesday, our generous benefactors are offering a $50,000 Gift Match Challenge in support of The Br. Declan Murray Fund! For every $2 a donor gives to support this fund on November 30th, our generous benefactors will contribute $1. That means: your gift of $50 becomes $75, a $200 gift becomes $300, and so-on. As we celebrate Giving Tuesday, please consider honoring Br. Declan's legacy by participating in this special Gift Match Challenge. Click the button below to make a gift on Giving Tuesday.
