Thank you to everyone for their steadfast support of the Capital Area Golf Tournament over the past twenty years. The tournament raised more than $1.6 million, which supported four memorial scholarships -- 3/5 "Darkhorse" Memorial Scholarship, 1/8 Marines Battle of Fallujah Memorial Scholarship, First Lieutenant Robert Kelly Memorial Scholarship, Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Shea USMC Memorial Scholarship. This incredible support has transformed the lives of children of Marines and Navy Corpsmen across the greater DC area!
