The Monaghan Family would like to express their gratitude to the students and staff of Medford Memorial Middle School. The chairpersons for this fund raiser were 8th grade students Colin, Lisa, Darrielle, Ali and Guidance Counselor Ms. Hower. A special thanks to the Coach Rourke and the girls field hockey team. And an additional collection by team 6-2 and Mrs. Brown. Over $1,500 was raised for the Ronald McDonald House in Camden, NJ. Rory is in the process of furnishing and decorating a bedroom called "Pappy's Room". Patrick had a love of golf and Rory will decorate the room with a golf motif in her brother's memory. A special thanks to Patrick's friends at St. Joe's Prep for selling ribbons and collecting donations of over $1,400 towards Patrick's Place. The contribution will go towards building a house with Habitat for Humanity in Beverly, NJ. Hopefully, this will be the first of many homes that we will build in Patrick's name.
