First Annual Murph Challenge

Posted May, 31
The Murph Challenge is the Official annual fundraiser of the LT. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation, presented by Forged®.

It is also one of the primary means of funding for the Foundation on an annual basis. 

This year's Murph Challange host was village resident Enrique Corridor. May residents and guests participate, all for a good cause. The fitness challenge includes a run around Pond N. 3, followed by multiple reps of pull-ups squat trust, push-ups, and more, followed by a second run around the pond.* Enrigue has volunteered to host next year's Murph Challenge too. We're all looking forward to it next Memorial Day weekend.

Since 2014, Forged® has raised over $1,800,000+ for the LT. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation through The Murph Challenge campaign. In 2021, The Murph Challenge Fundraiser raised more than $300,000 in order to finalize construction on the LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum/Sea Cadet Training Facility in Long Island, NY! In addition to that, and ONLY with such overwhelming support and success, the Foundation awarded 34 scholarships in 2021 with the addition of three new scholarships; one at St. Joseph’s College to a Veteran for undergraduate or graduate study and two new scholarships at Rocky Point High School on Long Island in memory of Marine Sgt Robert A. Pole, who was Killed in Action in Iraq.

It is important to remember that The Murph Challenge is more than just a workout. It is a tradition that helps push us, humble us, and allows us the opportunity to dedicate a bit of pain and sweat to honor LT. Michael P. Murphy (SEAL), a man who sacrificed everything he had for our freedom.
