The Great Ignatian Challenge is a spirited food drive competition between Jesuit high schools across the USA East Province.
It is the creation of Fordham Prep alumnus Jim Rowen. Inspired by the Jesuit mission of being “women and men for others,” Mr. Rowen initiated the Challenge by pledging almost half a million dollars to support participating schools in theirThanksgiving food drives.
The Challenge is intended to highlight the collective service power and generosity among the Jesuit high schools across the East coast.
