We bid a fond farewell to our esteemed board member Dietmar Exler as he wraps up his 6 ½ year term on our board of directors. As CEO at Mercedes-Benz USA 2016-2019, Dietmar implemented a sponsorship agreement that would eventually result in over $11 million in donations and some 2,000 scholarships over a 6-year period. If that wasn’t enough, Dietmar also set the example with his personal impact to JMSF each year. Thank you, Dietmar, for your service and immense contributions to our mission and organization!

We're honored and proud to support Isabel! We wish her success as she embarks on her journey as a second grade teacher and furthers her education.

We’re thrilled to shine our July scholar spotlight on Reese Carwile. Reese joined us last month at our golf tournament at the West Point Golf Course to meet supporters and share her family’s journey of love and loss. Like so many of our Johnny Mac Scholars, Reese was a very young child when she lost her father, U.S. Army Lieutenant Donald Carwile, Killed in Action on August 15, 2008 in Afghanistan. Lieutenant Carwile was assigned to 1-506th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division. Reese is a senior at the University of Mississippi where she majors in biology with a minor in chemistry. She is enrolled in a pre-physician assistant track with plans to become a pediatric or orthopedic physician assistant. Reese is involved in school organizations, is active at her church, and works as a phlebotomist. We wish Reese a successful senior year at Ole Miss! #JMSF #johnnymacsoldiersfund #givingbackthrougheducation #scholarships #johnnymacscholar #militaryappreciationmonth #scholarspotlight
