New York State residents: MADD and AMF need your help to pass three bills that will help stop impaired driving in our state. Drunk driving increased during the pandemic: from 2019 to 2020, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drunk driving deaths increased from 256 to 283—an 11% increase! Lawmakers must advance DWI reforms to ensure New York roadways are safe for all residents.

The Andrew McMorris Foundation is thrilled to announce that we won the Rising Star award at the10th Annual Long Island Imagine Awards!

The Andrew McMorris Foundation is honored to be chosen as a finalist in the 10th Annual Long Island Imagine Awards - Vanguard Insurance Agency Rising Star Award. The Awards Ceremony is April 26 - we’ll find out that night if we’re the winners in our category!

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. It 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.

The event honors Andrew McMorris, who was killed by a drunk driver while he was hiking with his Boy Scout troop in 2018.

Andrew's parents have turned their pain into purpose with events like this to remember their son’s life and raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving.

Andrew's family asks that those who loved Andrew put their grief into action and keep his spirit alive by supporting events such as the run, so they can continue to give out scholarships and Scouterships "to our deserving young leaders — as well as to assist us in getting the message out there not to drink and drive."

The Andrew McMorris Foundation is excited to announce its first event of 2022, “Andrew’s Top Gun Run.” This 5k/Fun Run, in collaboration with Suffolk County Council of Boy Scouts of America, will take place on March 26, 2022. It was announced at a press conference at the event site this week.

The Andrew McMorris Foundation has picked a fitting location for a 5K run planned in honor of the late boy scout: the former Grumman runway at EPCAL in Calverton.

His parents, John and Alisa and sister Arianna, announced on Monday the run, which is planned for Saturday, March 26, 2022 at Grumman Memorial Park.

When Andrew McMorris was younger, his family would ride bikes together at the Enterprise Park in Calverton. Andrew, who dreamed of becoming a pilot, “pretended when he biked down the old runways that he was actually taking off in an airplane,” his father said.

Now, one of those runways will host a 5K run in honor of the late Wading River Boy Scout, who died in 2018 after he and his troop were struck by a drunk driver while hiking in Manorville.

From the moment they lost their beloved boy, the McMorris family has seen their lives shattered, blanketed by grief that the joy of the holiday season just intensifies. "This holiday I will be putting up Andrew's stocking but it will have no one to open it — and that kind of pain I wouldn't wish on anyone," Alisa said.

On September 30, 2021, we lit it up red once again! The Andrew McMorris Foundation hosted its 3rd Annual Gala Fundraiser at Riverhead’s Suffolk Theater.

The Andrew McMorris Foundation is excited to announce new Fine Arts, Scouting and Aerocamp Grants for 2021. Andrew was a multitalented young man, but his biggest passions were art, music, dancing, theater, Boy Scouts, and aviation. The Andrew McMorris Foundation created these grants to help young people pursue their dreams like Andrew fearlessly pursued his.

Thank you to Lisa Finn and the Riverhead Patch, who wrote a remembrance of Andrew on his 15th birthday, March 30, 2021.

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day and Andrew’s birthday, the Andrew McMorris Foundation has released “Cut Short,” its latest Public Service Announcement to help prevent drunk driving. This PSA was directed by David Lopez and produced by David Lopez, the Andrew McMorris Foundation, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

The Andrew McMorris is proud to announce its Holiday 2020 Public Service Announcement, Some of the most dangerous days of the year on our nation’s roadways are between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. Be safe this holiday season and celebrate by hearing sleigh bells, not sirens.

Shoreham-Wading River High School junior Jake Field conceived of a thoughtful school community addition for his Eagle Scout service project to mark his final rank in the Boy Scouts. Jake designed and built two benches to honor the memory of former student Andrew McMorris.
