Shawn Russell not only ran a successful Marine Marathon in Washington, D.C. in October, but shattered his goal of $2,500 for the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation by over $1,500. The final tally for his efforts is $4,017.
The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation would like to extend our heartfealt thanks to Shawn and his efforts, and to all of those who contributed to his run for Scottie. We at the Foundation are just overwhelmed by the support folks have given Shawn from virtually all over the country, and we want to thank each and every one of you on behalf of Shawn and everyone here at Scottie's Foundation.
Shawn Russell, a 1999 classmate of Scott at West Point, dedicated his run in the 2009 Marine Corps Marathon for Scottie's Foundation. Shawn is a retired Captain of the U.S. Army Special Forces.
"I met Scotty when we were introduced by a mutual friend in 2000. We were roommates for 3 years before Scott was transfered to Ft. Stewart, GA. I was in training at Ft. Bragg, NC in 2004 when I learned about Scott's murder. Years later, after hearing about another runner using a marathon to raise funds for muscular dystrophy (MS), I decided to do the same to raise funds to the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation.
Everyone,
I just wanted to send you all a note of sincere thanks for your donation to the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation. Although my initial goal was $2500, thanks to the almost 60 of you who gave so generously, we raised $4017, or 161% of our goal. I couldn't not have imagined that word would spread like it did, or that we would raise the amount we did.
Again, thank you for your generousity and support for this worthy cause.
Sincerely,
Shawn
Thanks to the many donations to Shawn Russell's run in the Marine Marathon, he has met and exceeded his goal of $2,500. The Foundation wants to extend their deep appreciation to all of those who so generously donated, and to Shawn for his efforts.

87 Year old Marine Still Serves
The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation is proud to team up with an 87 year old Marine from Hopewell, Pennsylvania to provide paintings of Fallen Heroes. Mr. Alex Yawor has dedicated himself to use his talents to give the families of these Heroes a keepsake for them to remember.

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 724-218-1241.

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation is truly saddened to report that USMC SGT Merlin German has passed away. SGT German was one of the first patients we visited at the Brooke Army Medical Center after the Foundation was created.
We spent time with him at the burn unit, and he was able to attend our Army/Texas A&M tailgate in September of 2006. We will always remember Merlin, his true courage, his service to his country, and how he indeed exemplified the motto of the United States Marine Corps - Semper Fi. Be Thou At Peace, Merlin German. We wish his family Godspeed.
The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation would like to honor the passing of Leon J. Balza. Mr. Balza was a veteran of WWII, and many members of his extended family have or are currently serving in the military and the Coast Guard. We wish everyone in the Balza clan Godspeed. Be thou at peace, Leon Balza.
The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation will be hosting a Final Four Party for the Brooke Army Medical Center Saturday, April 5th in San Antonio. The event will take place at Sunset Station, adjacent to the Alamodome where the NCAA Men's Basketball Finals will be held this year.
The Foundation is expecting over 100 BAMC patients and their families to watch the two semi-final games on big screen TVs, while they enjoy the food, entertainment and basketball hoops set up for the kids. The FRG from the 4th Squadron/3d ACR at Fort Hood will be guests of the Foundation for the event as well.
All of us at the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation are proud to provide another event for all of our friends and heroes at the Brooke Army Medical Center, where they can enjoy a national sporting event with us in honor of their service and dedication.
The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation hosted "A Day of Army Football" for patients of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center on September 8th at West Point. Wounded military members and their families traveled to the United States Military Academy for Army's home opener vs. Rhode Island. The guests were treated to breakfast, viewing of the Cadet Parade, a Black Knight victory and a post-game tailgate.
The Walter Reed patients also experienced a surprise visit by Vice Chief of Staff General Richard Cody, who extended his appreciation of their service and sacrifices for their country. The Foundation was truly honored to provide a day of football for the heroes at Walter Reed. Captain Scott Corwin was a 1999 graduate of West Point.
The wounded Soldiers, assigned to Brooke Army Medical Center and their family members, were also invited to attend a pre-game tailgate party at the parking lot of the Sunset Station. The tailgate party, sponsored by the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation, was in honor of Capt. Scott Corwin, a 1999 West Point graduate who was killed May 2004 in Savannah, Ga.
The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation was created by the family of the 1999 West Point graduate to honor their son and brother as a tribute to his zest for life, his service to his nation and his leadership. “We wanted to help the military and the families,” said Greg Corwin, Scott’s father. “This is something Scott would have liked.” “We want to give back as much as we can for what the Soldiers have done for us. My brother would have liked this,” said Jaime Corwin, Scott’s sister.
On May 29th, 2007, family and friends gathered to mark three years since the murder of Captain Scott Corwin.
A mass at St. John the Baptist Church in Savannah was followed by a twilight vigil at the corner of Bull and Gordon in Savannah's Historical District where the murder took place. The killing remains unsolved.
In June 2006 The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation visited the Brooke Army Medical Center and the Soldiers and Family Assistance Center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
From the Article - "The fun, however, began well before the actual kick-off with some tailgating, compliments of Greg Corwin and the Capt. Scott Corwin Foundation, Frady said. Corwin’s son was a West Point graduate who served two tours in Iraq and returned home to Fort Stewart, Ga. He was still on active duty when he was killed in a shooting near his home in Savannah, Ga., May 29, 2004. The case is still open. "
“There’s got to be more generous people, but I don’t know who they are,” Markelz said. “He’s taken what could’ve been such a negative thing and turned it into such a wonderfully positive thing.”
Families of the 92nd were treated to a Sand Gnats minor league baseball game in Savannah.
The Fund contacted all 119 NCAA Division I college football teams, asking them to send one of their teams "92" jerseys to us, so we could send them on to the 92nd stationed at Camp Liberty. We received over 60 jerseys, which were worn by members of the 92nd in Baghdad.
On November 15th, 2006, the Foundation was pleased to award a $2,000 college scholarship Matthew J. Sulkowski, a member of the Hinsdale South High School football team who has exemplified the spirit of Scott in athletics, scholarship, citizenship and leadership.
With the help of the Republic Bank, the Foundation also awarded additional $500 scholarships to each of the other 4 applicants. The scholarships will go towards each individual's collegiate education.

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.

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 "Project 4" Page.

The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation is proud to team up with Gerry Rush, aka RangerRush, and provide Christmas gifts for the children of wounded warriors recovering at the Brooke Army Medical Center. Mr. Rush is a retired Army Ranger who lives in San Antonio and visits Brooke several times a week, providing morale and care for the military patients there.
He recently sent out a message asking help in his effort to provide presents for the children of the recovering warriors. He told us that the more than 500 patients at Brooke have over 300 children living in the family quarters supporting their loved ones and waiting for their recovery. Falling short of his goal last year to provide at least one gift for every child, the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation is making sure that won't happen this Christmas, and is sending a check for $1,000 for gifts to Ranger Rush for the kids.
The Foundation is so very proud to make sure Santa pays a visit to the children of our heroes at Brooke, and we salute Gerry Rush for his support of the men and women recovering there. He has shown that Rangers do indeed Lead the Way. Merry Christmas to all the families at Brooke - we wish you all Godspeed.

An Illinois-based group is working to honor one soldier by supporting many other servicemembers.
The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation is dedicated to helping our men and women in uniform, concentrating on those wounded," said Greg Corwin, one of the foundation's executive members, and Scott's father.
The foundation was established to honor Scott Corwin, an active-duty soldier killed, not by foreign terrorists, but while walking home in Savannah, Ga., after a night out with friends.
"We try to tailor our organization after what we think Scott would want, and we do a lot in the field of sports events, as Scott was a huge sports fan," Greg Corwin said.
Corwin said the foundation, which has arranged for wounded servicemembers to attend sporting events, doesn't limit itself to this type of support but finds such events are a great distraction for recovering vets.
Patients from the Brooke Army Medical Center will soon be experiencing March Madness first hand. The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation has provided 10 full-session tickets to the NCAA Men's Basketball Regional Finals at the Alamo dome for patients at BAMC.
The tickets were purchased by the Foundation, and will give 20 patients to see either the two-game session on March 22nd or the regional final on March 24th 2007. March Madness comes to BAMC! The Foundation wishes those attending to have a great time - you certainly deserve it.
