The Great Ignatian Challenge – 2022

Today marks the start of our much-loved and long-running Key Club Turkey Drive! This year, through the efforts of our Turkey Drive, we will also join 18 other Jesuit high schools in The Great Ignatian Challenge. Fordham Prep alumnus Jim Rowen, inspired by the Jesuit mission of being “women and men for others,” initiated the Challenge by pledging thousands of dollars to support participating schools in their Thanksgiving food drives. The Challenge highlights the collective service power and generosity among the participating Jesuit high schools. Since 2016, the Challenge participation has grown to 18 schools that have collected over 937,000 pounds of food for distribution across local area food banks, community centers, and aid organizations.
