Annual
Five-Star Giving Campaign |
| |
Annual
giving programs provide financial support and personal
involvement that Scabbard and Blade cadets,
midshipmen, and their volunteer workers count on each
year. This fund is critical to Scabbard and Blade,
providing a reliable, consistent supply of funds to
support the Society’s national, regional, state and
school programs.
The key aspect of annual giving is that it is
available every year. That is why your regular gifts
to the Society are so greatly appreciated! |

became members. Funding is needed to research and
update the alumni information and addresses, merge
