The Chapter awards scholarships to those High School seniors participating in Jr. ROTC programs, who will be attending college the following fall.
Fundraising is accomplished by contributions of the members. In past years, the Chapter has been able to award the minimum of two (2) $1000 scholarships each year. Last year, 2011, thanks to the generosity of the members, we were able to award three (3) $1,000 scholarships .

In addition to funding the scholarships, the members volunteer to personally present the ROTC and JR ROTC awards each year at Coastal Carolina University and the participating High Schools in the Grand Strand area.

We actively participate in the Toys for Tots campaign during the Holiday Season and have sent "Care packages" to the servicemen and women serving in Iraq.

Scents for Soldiers - Items are collected by our Chapter and given to Christina Shealy to be delivered personally to wounded soldiers . If you want or need, we provide a
“list of permitted and requested items” at our Chapter meetings.
Thanks to the efforts of Christine and her volunteers, Wounded Soldiers and their familiesare brought to Myrtle Beach, at no cost to the soldiers, and introduced to people of all walks of life.

Please join us at the next monthy dinner meeting to learn more about the chapter and the members who tirelessly give of their time and talent.
