Craig Murphey was a well-liked and respected community organizer for Cathedral Community Cares and West Harlem Action Network Against Poverty in New York City. Sadly, Craig was killed when he was hit by a truck on October 18th of last year while riding his bike in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), NY. If you live in New York City, read more on how you can participate in and attend this fundraiser which will help benefit the Craig Murphey Fellowship via the New York City Coalition Against Hunger.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

A year ago we lost a true hero and friend, Craig Murphey.  Some called him a son, many called him a friend and still others called him “that dude who’s been staying on my couch, you know they guy with the biggest smile and the smelliest feet?” 

This Friday, October 11th, we celebrate his life and achievements as we hold a raffle and take donations for the NYC Coalition Against Hunger (www.nyccah.org) – the Craig Murphey fellowship.  Criag’s fellowship helps fight hunger in west Harlem and other neighborhoods by providing access to nutritious foods to underprivileged families.

Please come out and support our love for our dear friend.  Let’s all raise a glass of vodka and Coke Zero and dance like its going out of style!
