The Lawyers Committee of the Inner-City Scholarship Fund honored Roderick J. Cassidy and Osmar J. Benvenuto during the annual Saint Thomas More Award Luncheon on Wednesday, Oct. 21. Cassidy, the recently retired general counsel for the Archdiocese of New York, and Benvenuto, a managing director at Morgan Stanley, received the awards at Cipriani 42nd Street.

The event drew more than 500 guests and raised over $550,000 to support the Inner-City Scholarship Fund. These funds help families with financial need send their children to Catholic K-12 schools within the Archdiocese of New York.

Archbishop Ronald A. Hicks of New York provided closing remarks for the program. Other participants included student speaker Jayden Neil from Mount Saint Michael Academy and Eyad Tapia from Our Lady Queen of Angels.
