SCHOLARSHIPS & DONATIONS: Thanks to the support of generous donors The Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation has had the privilege of awarding 13 Scholarships to an outstanding group of individuals. We also reached an important milestone last year. Our goal has always been to protect Glen’s legacy. His story is so important to his friends and family and we never want to forget.

The endowment was seeded with $250,000 and we will continue to grow this account from events like The Boston Marathon, our Annual Memorial Road Race and Corporate Sponsorships. We are growing and protecting the principle so that the GDMF will forever fund scholarships for Special Operations veterans and their dependents.
