Mission Statement
The mission of the Sandy Hook Pilots’ Charitable Foundation is to serve those needful within the local community on Staten Island, New York,
as well as to serve those needful within the maritime industry that support the Port of New York and New Jersey.
The Sandy Hook Pilots launched the Sandy Hook Pilots’ Charitable Foundation in 2021 in honor of our late partner, Timothy M. Murray. Tim was a
passionate advocate for community involvement, both locally and within the maritime industry. This Foundation is dedicated to carrying forward
his legacy of generosity.
Through the collective efforts of individual Sandy Hook Pilots, both active and retired, the Foundation channels donations and resources to
organizations making a positive difference. Our work spans a broad range of initiatives—from assisting neighbors on Staten Island to supporting
programs vital to the Port of New York and New Jersey.
We collaborate with local leaders to identify impactful community programs, seek guidance from maritime partners on areas needing greater support,
and champion initiatives close to the hearts of our members.
Recent support has included:
Seafarers International House
Grace Foundation
Seaman’s Society for Children and Families
Meals on Wheels of Staten Island
Public Schools 31 and 175

Our Board is composed of active and retired pilots, along with our Business Agent, Tim McGovern. We invite you to join us in this mission of giving
back—your contributions help strengthen both our community and the maritime family we serve. Sign up for our mailing list [HERE].
