Formed in 2014, the Order of Malta’s St. John Committee raises critical funds for the Order’s global humanitarian efforts. The Committee is entirely volunteer-run, and our work supports the Order's mission to uphold human dignity and care for people in need.

The Committee’s first fundraiser, the White Cross Ball, was founded under the leadership of Dr. Michael Espiritu, KM; Niccolo Falez, KM; and William Murray, Viscount Stormont. The Ball supports Malteser International Americas, Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem, and Malta Camp USA, and has in the past supported Malteser International and the Order of Malta International Summer Camp for young adults with disabilities. The Committee further supports the Order’s volunteer work in New York City through our Spring Knights fundraiser.
