On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, the Project Morry community will come together to celebrate the accomplishments of our incredible students and alumni as they create positive futures and long-term change in their lives and communities.
We are thrilled to honor longtime Project Morry supporters, Liz Kaplow and Evan Jacobs, with the 2024 Morry Award, in recognition of their more than 25 years of dedication and service to Project Morry's mission.
Project Morry began as a summer camp in 1995 and is now a robust ten-year program that supports the academic and life success of 400 young people year-round. Our commitment to each child closes the opportunity gap through a combination of academic enrichment and support, leadership development, and an exceptional summer camp experience. Project Morry is an anti-racist organization, committed to equity for black and brown lives, and against all forms of systemic racism.
The Benefit is the cornerstone of our annual fundraising efforts, raising up to 30% of our annual operating budget. All event proceeds directly support Project Morry's year-round programming.
Stay tuned for more information on exciting auction items and updates on the event!
