The 2021 Annual Benefit was a Success!
On Wednesday November 3, 2021, the Project Morry community came together to celebrate the 2021 Annual Benefit virtually. We were thrilled to honor Teresa Younger, President and CEO of the Ms. Foundation for Women and former Executive Director of Project Morry with the 2021 Morry Award, and The Dime Bank, longstanding partners of Project Morry, with the 2021 Corporate Social Responsibility Award. We raised over $800,000 for Project Morry's year-round programming.
What We’re Reading
Eric Beriguete, Project Morry's College and Career Readiness Director, reflects on the impact of recent changes to the SAT and the college admissions process in response to the pandemic and calls for more equitable access to higher education.

Project Morry Statement on Anti-Racism
For the last 15 years, Project Morry has actively worked on becoming an anti-racist organization. However, as long as our students and families must endure systemic and individual acts of oppression and violence, our work is not done. We’ve spent the last 2 weeks listening to our students, families, alumni, and community. We share the following as a statement of our commitment to the work that we must do as a community and as an organization.
