Houston Awards Dinner

The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation has been hard at work in Texas for nearly 60 years. With the support of patriotic communities like Houston and generous individuals like you, we’re putting the spirit of Semper Fidelis to work right here in the Lone Star State. This year we are honoring Karen Kelly with the Semper Fidelis Award. We will also be celebrating LtGen Dave Furness USMC (Ret.) as our Military Guest of Honor.

For questions, please contact Betsy Pigg at (252) 412-8671 or betsy.pigg@datocwitten.com.
