Members of the Corwin Family have created the Foundation to honor the life and legacy of Captain Scott Corwin. We remain devoted to his brothers in arms, and strive to help members of the military and their families.

We also created a scholarship in Scott's name to encourage high school athletes to excel not only on the field, but in the classroom and in their community as well.

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and all contributions are tax deductible. We have no paid employees - all of the officers and board members volunteer their time and talents.

We direct virtually every dollar that we receive to our causes. We do this in honor of Scott, in our efforts to continue his legacy of selfless commitment to his nation.

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation started our "Project 4" back in June, asking Division I college football teams to send one of their #4 jerseys for the 4th Squadron, 3rd ACR stationed in Iraq. We received jerseys from every major conference, teams from coast to coast.

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation would like to thank everyone who sent a jersey for our "Project 4." You've all sent a clear message to our adopted unit, the 4th Squadron, 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment that you are truly on their team.

Thanks for taking the time to make our "Project 4" a big success and supporting our Troops. You have all reached out to someone who needed your support. You have helped an American Soldier today. The Foundation salutes all of you.

Stay tuned for reports from Iraq on the jerseys.

About Project "4"

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation is proud to announce that our "Project 4" - #4 jerseys for the 4th Squadron 3rd ACR from Fort Hood stationed in Iraq - is underway. Letters recently went out to all 119 Division I college football teams asking them to send one of their schools #4 jerseys in support of our adopted unit, the 4th Squadron 3rd ACR.

"Project 4" duplicates "Project 92" of 2005, when the Corwin Foundation was known as the Captain Scott Corwin Memorial Fund and sent over sixty #92 jerseys to the 92nd Combat Engineer Battalion at Camp Liberty, Iraq. Captain Scott Corwin was the battalion engineer for the 92nd at the time of his death.

The aim of our "Project 4" is to show the men and women of the 4th Squadron 3rd ACR that they are supported by college and university football teams across the nation. We hope to have most of the jerseys there by the opening game of the 2008 college football season. "We have a lot of college football fans in our unit" Captain Ryan Kendall of the 4th Squadron recently told the Foundation from Iraq. "This will be great for our Soldiers here as we approach the 2008 season back home."

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation hopes that all D-I schools will take part in our project by sending one of their teams jerseys. This will be a great morale booster for the Soldiers. Somewhere within the ranks of the 4th is a big fan of your football team. The Foundation will update the progress of this effort on our Scoreboard Page.

On Monday, August 25th, the Steak N Shake restaurant on 75th Street in Darien, Illinois held a fundraiser for the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation. Supporters of the Foundation in the Darien area spent part of their day at the establishment, presenting vouchures with their meals that would direct 20% of their purchase toward the local charity.

Shake N Shake has announced that $1,305.30 worth of food was purchased with the vouchures, and the Corwin Foundation will receive a contribution of $261.06. The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation would like to thank Steak N Shake for their outstanding support, and Katie Graczyk for putting it all together an behalf of the restaurant.

The Foundation would also like to express our sincere thanks to everyone in the Darien community who came out to the Steak N Shake in support of Scottie's Foundation.

Operation Never Forgotten motivates the public to volunteer for military support organizations. This is done by creating mass awareness advertising campaigns… primarily through outdoor billboards and airport signs.

The campaigns thank our deployed troops and veterans; remember our fallen heroes; honor our gold star families; appreciate our blue star families; recognize our wounded warriors; and bring hope to children left behind since 9-11-01.

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation has created a new initiative called "Students for Troops". As part of our continuing support for our adopted unit, the 4th Squadron, 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment stationed in Iraq, we are asking nine teachers and their students to support one of the Troops of the 4th Squadron.

The 4th is nearing the one year point of their deployment, and will be spending their second holiday season away from home. By adopting one of the Troops, the teachers and their class will be encouraged to write letters to their adopted unit. With the holiday season approaching, it will be a great opportunity for the students to take a moment out of their holiday season to say 'thank you' to the Soldiers of the 4th.

If you are a teacher and are interested in having your class be a part of "Students for Troops", you can contact the Corwin Foundation by emailing us on the Contact Page, or by calling the Foundation at 1-888-332-5151.

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation has developed a simple but effective way to say 'Thank You' to our military men and women.

Officers and Board Members of the Foundation have been supplied with our ATY's, Airport Thank You Cards with a gift card inside. The cards say "On behalf of the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation, a small token of our appreciation for what you do for all of us".

Included with the Thank You Card is a $10 gift voucher for a food vendor within the airport where they can get a meal. As we travel the country, we have been greeting uniformed members of the military, thanking them for their service, and giving them our ATY's. The feedback from those who have received these Thank You's has been extremely positive.

If you're in the military, look for the ATY's from our Foundation members. If you'd like to help us with our Airport Thank You Program, go to our 'Donation' page and contribute your $10 for an ATY for our military men and women.
