Marshall Center Donates $2,500 To Boulder Crest Foundation
Proceeds from Annual Veterans Day Event Support Foundation’s Groundbreaking Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) Programs
Leesburg, Virginia – The George C. Marshall International Center has presented a $2,500 check to Boulder Crest Foundation to support the Virginia-based nonprofit’s life-changing programs for members of the military, veterans and first responder communities at no cost to them. For the second consecutive year, the donation was made possible by sponsor support for the Marshall Center’s annual Veterans Day Commemoration.
“Our annual Veterans Day event is a powerful opportunity to honor all who have served our nation in uniform,” said Marshall Center Board Chairman Tom Greenspan. “The Marshall Center is dedicated to showing our gratitude in meaningful ways every day, and supporting the vital work of the Boulder Crest Foundation is one of the best ways we can do that.”
Ken Falke, Founder & Chairman of Boulder Crest Foundation and a 21-year veteran of the U.S. Navy Special Operations Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), delivered the keynote address at the Marshall Center’s 20th annual Veterans Day event on November 11, 2024.
“When we think of strength, we often envision physical prowess—the kind of strength that's displayed on the battlefield,” Falke said. “But true strength encompasses much more. It's about strength in the face the adversity, moments of fear and courage and selfless commitment to a greater cause than oneself. Veterans embody these qualities in ways that inspire us all.”
The Marshall Center is grateful for the support of its 2024 Veterans Day Sponsors, including: Monoc, LMI, EIT 2.0, Shirley Pearson, 155 Strategies, Bank of Clarke, Fortinet Federal, McCandlish Lillard, Presidential Bank, AUSA – George Washington Chapter and the Loudoun County Public Library.
