Today we walk virtually on behalf of those who’s lives have been impacted by drunk and drugged Driving. We miss sweet Andrew every day. AMF thanks you all for the support.

Just hours before Christmas, a community came together to show their love for the McMorris family. A show of Christmas support, more than 300 friends, family members, Scouts and loved ones gathered outside the home of Alisa and John McMorris and their daughter Arianna McMorris for caroling Sunday night.

The Andrew McMorris Foundation was honored today to go with MADD NY to ring the closing bell on the New York Stock Exchange. We are so thankful for the tremendous support MADD has provided us ever since we lost Andrew to a drunk driver and this was such an amazing experience to promote MADD. We will forever be united with MADD to do whatever we can to ensure what happened to us to never happen to anyone else. We look forward to doing a lot of good work in Andrew’s name with MADD in the future.

It’s time for us to come together and honor Andrew’s life while building his legacy.

On the first anniversary of the worst day of our lives, we’re coming together as a community to host the 1st Annual Andrew McMorris Foundation Benefit.

On September 30, 2018, Troop 161 of Shoreham and the entire Suffolk County Council scouting family was affected by the tragic crash that took place as this group of boys and leaders were on a Sunday hike.  As a result of this crash, scout Andrew McMorris passed away.

We’re very touched that Mid Island Air Service Flight School at MacArthur Airport in Islip honored Andrew by dedicating their flight simulator room to him. Andrew used this simulator many times last summer while he was participating in their Aerocamp and he learned so much about piloting from using it.

Every year, AMF gives out Andrew McMorris Spirit Awards to two deserving 8th graders at Shoreham-Wading River Middle School. The Andrew McMorris Spirit Award was created to honor SWR 8th grade students who exemplify Andrew’s spirit by helping others without the need or desire for recognition.

We were so honored by how kind and thoughtful the Air Force Thunderbirds were with us and for them paying homage to Andrew. Andrew loved the Thunderbirds, so it meant so much to us by what they did at the Jones Beach Airshow this weekend. our deepest gratitude to the Thunderbirds as we missed Andrew so much, but their act of kindness brightened our day.
