ND Loyal Roll Call

Molly Boscarino '95

Dorm: Howard Hall

Major: Sociology and Concentration Hesburgh School of Public Policy

Hometown: Briarcliff Manor, NY ( 45 minutes north of New York City)

Current Location: I live in Buffalo, NY, with my husband Martin '95 and our son John and daughter Anne.

Favorite Memory: My favorite memory was my welcome to the Notre Dame community. On my first day of Freshman orientation, my parents and I were driving through Library Circle. My mother spotted Fr. Hesburgh and called over to him. She excitedly introduced me as a new Freshman. He leaned his head into the car, looked me right in the eye, and very matter-of-factly said, “The best four years of your life.” He gave a big smile and disappeared into the library.

Fun Fact: I was in Rudy! The movie Rudy was filmed in the fall of my Sophomore year. I volunteered with a few friends to be an extra in the film, or what we referred to that day as "the ambiance." I was part of the bar scene at Corbys, drinking fake beer and chatting with the real Rudy's Notre Dame friends. I happened to be positioned behind Sean Astin. The bar scene will forever be my 30 seconds of fame and has served as a great fun fact for the past 25 years.

Favorite Fundraising Tactic: Two things that have worked well for me are personalized communication and utilizing the GiveCampus app. I try to personalize any communication that I send. I make a point to use the alum's name and try to tie the communication to something they may have an interest in. This can vary depending on how well I know the person. It may be very specific if I have an established relationship, or something more generic regarding our class year, time on campus, or campaign that ND is running. The second tip is to get to know and utilize the GiveCampus app. GiveCampus is a terrific management and tracking tool that can be very helpful in sending personalizing emails and tracking outcomes. Take the time to watch the training; it will pay off.

93rd Annual Bengal Bouts

Founded by the legendary Knute Rockne, Notre Dame Men's Boxing has fundraised for the Holy Cross missions in Bangladesh for the past 93 years. In a country the size of Wisconsin containing half the population of the United States, eighty percent of the people live in extreme poverty making under two dollars a day. The Holy Cross Priests, Brothers, and Sisters attempt to battle poverty by providing education and health care to the people of Bangladesh.

The Congregation of Holy Cross has schools, churches, and healthcare facilities throughout the country, but they focus a large percentage of their efforts on 13 parishes located in the remote rural areas of Bangladesh. In these villages, Holy Cross works with the victimized tribal minorities who are among the poorest of the poor. The missions are a beacon of hope for these people and give them the tools to fight back against poverty and injustice by providing education. The Congregation of Holy Cross runs some of the most prestigious schools in the country and makes the opportunity for education available to everyone.

The funds raised by the Bengal Bouts have built primary and technical schools as well as health care clinics. They have paid for the education of impoverished high school and college students, providing young men and women with the skills to support their families now and into the future. Everyday Bengal Bouts is changing the lives of the boxers in the program and their Bengali friends on the other side of the world.
