Today is a great day for the annual ThanksUSA Charity Golf Tournament! Hosted by Intelligent Decisions and RAI Services Company, today's event will raise funds for ThanksUSA scholarships. To date, over 3,000 military spouses and dependent children have received ThanksUSA scholarships totaling nearly $10 million. Two of those scholars, Charlotte Orren and Morgan Dean, will be joining us today.
Charlotte is an Aerospace Engineering major at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. She is involved with several campus organizations, serves as a Campus Outreach Student Leader, sings the National Anthem at ERAU sporting events, and plays on the ERAU Women’s Golf Team. Before joining fellow golfers, Charlotte will open today's tournament by singing the National Anthem.
Morgan Dean just completed her first year of Nursing studies at the University of Virginia. Morgan had a wonderful transition to college life, joining several student-run organizations including Students Helping Honduras, Student Nurse Association of Virginia, Nursing Students without Borders, and Hoos for Memory. Morgan plans to specialize in pediatrics and would like to begin her nursing career as a pediatric oncology nurse at the University of Virginia Hospital Medical Center. Morgan will speak about receiving a ThanksUSA scholarship during the tournament reception this afternoon.
We are thrilled to have these bright young women represent ThanksUSA scholars and we extend our sincerest gratitude to the sponsors who have made this tournament possible:
