Footwear Warriors Higher Education Scholarship
The Footwear Warriors Scholarship was designed to promote higher education among Veterans currently employed, or returning to work in the footwear industry after their tour of duty.
“We live in a great country made safe by Veterans who have served us well in incredibly trying and sensitive times around the world. It’s our collective responsibility to give them something in return, to prepare them for life after service. That’s why we launched this fund and encourage others to donate and help make a difference in the lives of our Veterans.”
Kevin Donahue, Chairman, Quabaug Charitable Foundation
