Around the Prep

Thank You to Our Giving Tuesday Donors
Giving Tuesday has become synonymous with supporting non-profit organizations with donations the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Fordham Prep is no exception, as 128 generous donors made gifts to the school totaling almost $ 45,000- a near four-fold increase from 2015. The givers included 11 first-time donors, 29 lapsed donors and 20 donors who helped get students out of JUG during a special
appeal made by Dean of Students Steven Pettus. Thank you to our donors who thought of Fordham Prep on Giving Tuesday and their support of Jesuit education.
