In beginning of a promising life and career, Scott Corwin, an active United States Army Captain, was mysteriously gunned down on the streets of Monterey Square, Savannah, Georgia. After a night out with friends Corwin was walking to his nearby residence in Savannah’s historic district during the morning hours of May 29, 2004. His spirit of leadership and generosity lives on in numerous awards, scholarships and charities given in his name.
With a supporting family Scott grew to become a West Point graduate and a talented young soldier. His death has inspired the Captain Scott Corwin Foundation, making his name an everlasting symbol of selflessness and generosity. The Captain Corwin Foundation was created by Scott’s friends and family. Today Scott’s foundation provides scholarships to high school athletes who have shown leadership qualities, encouraging them to continue those important attributes.
The continuing efforts to build upon the values of athletes, and encouraging them to give back to the community goes on in his name. The CSC Award is presented to a member of the Darien, Illinois High School’s football team for athletics, scholarships, citizenship and leadership and includes a $2,000 college scholarship.
The foundation has also created programs like “students for troops†where teachers and their classes “adopt†a unit and write letters to share with them a hello and a thank you for the protections they provide. The website presents news, updates, and press, as well as information on helping and donating to our men and women uniform.
The Captain Scott Corwin Foundation is a 501© 3 nonprofit organization and your donations are tax deductible.
