FORDHAM PREP 2022 ANNUAL GIVING REPORT
THE IGNITING OUR MISSION CAMPAIGN
Thanks to the generosity of the Prep community , we have completed the Igniting Our Mission campaign , the most successful campaign in the school ’ s history . Igniting Our Mission has expanded our physical space , curriculum offerings and tuition assistance and has strengthened the Annual Fund and the Endowment through a strategic vision that ensures that a Fordham Prep education , steeped in faith , scholarship and service , continues to thrive on Rose Hill for years to come .”
– Rev . Christopher J . Devron , SJ , former President of Fordham Prep
The Igniting Our Mission Campaign began with donations to the Patrick S . Joyce , Jr . ’ 88 Scholarships , established in 2012 by the classes of ’ 87 , ’ 88 , ’ 89 to honor the lives of Patrick Joyce , Jr . ’ 88 and his fellow deceased classmates . Capital improvements funded by the campaign were kicked off with Rowen Athletic Field in 2014 , thanks to donations from Diane and James Rowen ’ 82 ( founder of the Great Ignatian Challenge ). Coming full circle , Rowen Lobby was dedicated in the family ’ s name at the Igniting Our Mission Campaign event in November 2021 in celebration of renovations made to the Prep ’ s entryway and reception areas .
