Alberi '94 and Murray '01 Inducted into Hall of Fame
/Dear Fordham Prep Lacrosse Friends,
The Fordham Prep Lacrosse Season Kickoff and Hall of Fame Induction ceremony held at Rory Dolan’s, Friday March 14th, was a resounding success! Over 125 lacrosse players, family, and alumni gathered to recapture the memories from previous years, look ahead to an exciting new season, and honor Scott Alberi ‘94 and Michael Murray ‘01 as inductees into our Lacrosse Hall of Fame (bios below).
Thanks to the donations of our guests, Silent Auction donors, Raffle donors and our dinner sponsors, we raised over $18,000 for the Lacrosse Endowment, as well as helping underwrite additional season expenses. We will also be sending four Bronx Lacrosse boys to the Prep’s HAP program this summer! If you are not familiar with what a great organization Bronx Lacrosse is, we suggest you check out this video. We continue to have a strong relationship with them and look forward to continuing our involvement with these boys living right in the Prep’s backyard.
Thank you to all who contributed! The Top Corner Club, Fordham Prep Lacrosse coaching staff, and players greatly appreciate all of your support and generosity. We hope to see you at our home opener on Thursday, March 31st vs. Stepinac and will keep you posted on additional Fordham Prep Lacrosse events. Be on the lookout for our season preview which will hit inboxes in the next couple weeks.
For those who missed the dinner and would like to donate, you can do so here.
