Thank You from the Andrew McMorris Foundation!

Words cannot fully describe how appreciative all of us at The Andrew McMorris Foundation are for everyone who participated, donated, sponsored, organized, & volunteered to make Andrew’s Top Gun Run a phenomenal success. 

We are overwhelmed by the tremendous display of love and support that so many people and organizations have shown.  Andrew’s Top Gun Run was a very special day for so many reasons and we are thrilled to be able to raise money for our unsung young leaders and bringing awareness to the dangers of drunk and impaired driving.

Thank you to the Town of Riverhead and Supervisor Aguiar for allowing us to have our event on the runway at EPCAL that honored Andrew’s passion for aviation. 

It was a perfect way to celebrate Andrew’s life and spirit in what would have been his 16th birthday. 

 

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for everything everyone did to make Andrew’s Top Gun Run such a grand success.  We are truly blessed to live in such a kind, supportive and generous community. Together we can continue to put our pain into purpose and our grief into action with keeping Andrew’s memory alive.  God bless one and all. Sending all our love to each and every one of you.  Fly High Andrew. You will always be in our hearts.
