Founded on Oct. 6th, 2021, The Liv Morro Memorial Foundation was established as means to help the students at Manasquan High School Theatre Arts achieve their theatrical dreams in honor of Liv Morro's legacy. Our mission is to support the advancement of Theatre Arts for students in our community through fundraisers and community donations.

During the last 5 years, the foundation has raised over $200,000, through fundraisers, raffles, and general donations. The foundation has funded the installation of a new digital lighting and sound system at Manasquan High School, establishment of a Summer Theatre Camp, annual support of the Manasquan High School fall play and spring musical, support for the Farmingdale Elementary school spring musical and band program, annual Liv Morro Memorial Scholarship for Theatre Arts and our most recent project the installation of a new digital sound system for Brielle Elementary School.

Paige Morro believes that Performing Arts Students
need to be heard, have a place where children will prosper, grow and have the tools needed for their performances. It has been our mission to increase the awareness of the fantastic talent of the students in our community. Not just those that perform, but all the behind-the-scenes support from the lighting and sound techs, onstage hands, set designers and especially stage managers. That was Liv’s passion and continues to be ours.

Timothy White is widely recognized as one of the most important figures in contemporary photography. An award-winning fine art photographer and creative director, he is entrusted by the highest echelon of international celebrities across the industries of Hollywood, Music, Advertising and Fashion to create and capture the iconic images that define their brand identity and campaigns. A published author and sought-after speaker, White’s portfolio stands as one of the most extensive and important archives in the world, chronicling more than four decades of pop culture.

Celebrated for his stunning, evocative images, exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, Timothy’s work consistently demonstrates a mastery of technique and the signature power to incorporate an entire narrative into a single image. His undeniable talent paired with the intimacy he achieves with his subjects has earned White distinction such as the Lucie Award for "International Photographer of the Year”, American Photo Magazine’s “Most Important People in Photography”, and an induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame in his home state.
