Rochester, NY – Megan Murphy comes to Direct Fundraising with a wealth of experience having raised thousands of dolla
rs for sports teams across the country. For the past six years she has worked at My Sports Dreams with a primary focus on providing fundraising services to collegiate sports while also working with youth, high school, club and semi-pro teams. Murphy joins in a sales capacity where she will partner with teams and organizations to raise money without selling – so they can focus on a successful season.
“I am very excited to be part of this quickly developing company. As a former coach and athlete, I know that sports teams need fundraising solutions that are cost effective and make the best use of their time,” said Murphy. “Adam Platzer ‘s (owner) customer-based approach is something that I find very important and I am thrilled to be a part of.”
Murphy has extensive experience around sports. A 1999 graduate of Wilton High School in Wilton, CT, Murphy earned 12 varsity letters in basketball, soccer, lacrosse and tennis. In 2003, Murphy graduated from Gettysburg College with a BA in History. In her years as a member of the lacrosse team there, she was a two-time All-American, three-time regional All-American, three-time all-conference, Conference Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year by Inside Lacrosse Magazine.
Since college, Megan has coached for the English Lacrosse Association in Manchester England and worked as the assistant lacrosse coach at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Since 2005, Murphy has also been running a successful girls lacrosse camp business in Southern Fairfield County, Connecticut. Fun in the Sun Lax has grown by over 400% since 2005, and now attracts girls from over twenty different towns throughout Connecticut and New York.
