Captain Matthew Patrick Manoukian ’01 Memorial Crab Feed
You are invited to gather for the 13th Annual Captain Matthew Patrick Manoukian ’01 Memorial Crab Feed on Saturday, January 30, 2027.
This year, our evening begins outdoors with a prayer service at the Holy Family statue, followed by the Presentation of the Colors and the national anthem. We will then move into the Dining Commons to share dinner together. United in prayer and community, we gather in Matt’s honor to support Saint Francis students through the endowed scholarship that bears his name, so his spirit of service lives on in future Lancers. More than a tradition, this evening is a fundraiser for the Captain Matthew P. Manoukian ’01 Scholarship Fund and a meaningful way to make a lasting difference for our students.

Background
The Captain Matthew Patrick Manoukian ’01 Memorial Crab Feed was established by the Legacy Ambassadors, formerly known as the Endowment Committee, in partnership with the Manoukian family. The event raises funds for an endowed scholarship in Matthew’s name while honoring his life, legacy and service to our country.
Captain Matthew Patrick Manoukian, Class of 2001, went on to attend the University of Arizona before serving four tours of duty in the Middle East as a United States Marine Corps Officer. Matthew’s values—his leadership, courage, selflessness and unwavering dedication—left a lasting impact on his fellow Marines and on all who knew him. He was killed in combat in Afghanistan on August 10, 2012, after giving his life to save his fellow Marines. For his extraordinary heroism, Matthew was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. His sacrifice will never be forgotten and continues to inspire generations within our Saint Francis community.
