The Journey Continues... 11.12.13

Save the date and please join us on 11.12.13 for our next event;

What makes this so unique is not the date but the theme of the evening;  Sharing An American Story. 

Most you know that we established the General George S. Patton Scholarship of Honor in Plzen, Czech Republic.  It is awarded during the Liberation Festival every May, which celebrates the liberation of their city by General Patton in 1945.   

Thanks to foundation board member, Bob Nueske and a commitment from Fox 11 News in Green Bay, a 30 minute documentary will be produced after this years celebration on the city, its citizens and Brian's Foundation. 
  
Bob felt everyone in our country should have a chance to learn about the sacrifice of the American solider and how much the citizens of Plzen, Czech Republic still appreciate, care, and love Americans to this day.  
 
11.12.13 will be the premiere viewing of this documentary.

Our first scholarship recipient of 2013!

Brenna Adamski received our scholarship through Junior Achievement at last week’s Business Challenge.

 A note from Brenna: “I would just like to say how INCREDIBLY grateful I am. Words cannot describe what a blessing this scholarship is and will be for me. It has brought the confidence I need to continue to fill out scholarship applications.

 You could never fully understand the impact this money and your generosity has had on me. I'm forever grateful.”
