FORDHAM PREP 2023 ANNUAL GIVING REPORT

ALUMNI BUSINESSES SUPPORTING THE PREP

We are always grateful for our sponsors who provide one-of-a-kind experiences at our events throughout the year . We are especially thrilled when Fordham Prep-run businesses support our community . Honestly , what would a Prep event be without them ?

Here ’ s to just a few of the alumni sponsors that make events like IGNITE and our annual Golf & Tennis Outing something to remember !
Wondering why there ’ s a crowd gathering in the corner of the Moglia Commons at IGNITE ? Chances are Danny Neeson ’ 15 , son of Taken star Liam Neeson P ’ 15 , is on the scene mixing delicious drinks for guests with Billy Renza ’ 15 . Neeson co-founded the award-winning De-Nada Tequila brand along with Renza and college friend Adam Millman . The De-Nada Tequila tasting table is always a huge hit at IGNITE and the Prep ’ s Golf & Tennis Outings .
