Spring 2024 - 27

he Murph Challenge is the official annual
fundraiser of the LT. Michael P. Murphy
Memorial Scholarship Foundation, presented by
Forged. It is also one of the primary means of
funding for the Foundation annually. Your support
is what drives our success.
Since 2014, Forged has raised over
$2,000,000+ for the LT. Michael P. Murphy
Memorial Scholarship Foundation through
The Murph Challenge campaign. In 2022, The
Murph Challenge Fundraiser raised more than
$300,000 to finalize construction on the LT
Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum/Sea
Cadet Training Facility in Long Island, NY. In
addition to that, and only with such overwhelming
support and success, the Foundation awarded 34
scholarships in 2022 with the addition of three
new scholarships; one at St. Joseph's College to a
veteran for undergraduate or graduate study and
two new scholarships at Rocky Point High School
on Long Island in memory of Marine Sgt. Robert
A. Pole, who was killed in action in Iraq.
The Murph Challenge is not just a physical test,
but also a mental and emotional one. Participants
are pushed to their limits and are encouraged to
keep pushing through the pain and exhaustion, just
as Lieutenant Murphy did during his final moments.
The challenge requires a one-mile run, 100 pullups,
200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another onemile
run-all while wearing a weighted vest (20
pounds for men, 14 pounds for women).
The event is held annually on Memorial Day, and
people from all over the world come together to
honor Lieutenant Murphy and all those who have
given their lives in service to our country. The
Murph Challenge is a powerful reminder of the
sacrifices made by our military and a testament to
the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
