5th Annual Jackson Casey Golf Tournament Booklet
Monday, July 18, 2016 Belle Haven Country Club Alexandria, Virginia K Presented by and The Massey Family •A •N• K •S •S U S A H •N• T• •A T• H Proceeds benefitting U S A Jackson Casey Memorial Scholarship Fund The fourth annual Jackson Casey Memorial Golf Tournament, presented by Apex, took place last July at the Belle Haven Country Club in Alexandria, VA. There were 120 players who gathered from all over the country in loving memory of Jackson. Through the golf tournament and individual contributions, the Jackson Casey Fund received more than $215,000. And in the 2015-2016 school year, 50 scholarships totaling $150,000 were awarded in Jackson’s name. Since its inception in 2012, the Jackson Casey Fund has raised nearly $800,000 to benefit the mission of ThanksUSA and has awarded 123 scholarships in Jackson’s name. “Thank you for supporting my endeavors and those of fellow military families through Jackson’s life.” — Benjamin Solem Jackson was an energetic and caring eleven-year-old who touched many people with his kindness in a short time. He loved sports and enjoyed competing, especially with his brother and sister. He was a great teammate, enthusiastic and supportive in victory or defeat. Jackson was a fun and loving brother and friend to everyone he met. In partnership with ThanksUSA, the Jackson Casey Fund was created to honor the women and men of the Armed Forces by providing need-based scholarships for their children and spouses. The scholarships given in Jackson’s name will benefit families from Virginia, with an emphasis on Northern Virginia. Jackson enjoyed attending military ceremonies with his grandfather, and was fascinated by the military and our men and women in uniform. Jackson’s giving nature and huge heart, combined with his love of the military, made this feel like the right place to focus the work of The Jackson Casey Fund. Thank you for your commitment to continuing Jackson’s legacy of helping others and for thanking military families! Our Mission: To keep the memory and spirit of Jackson alive throughout the community and to help raise funds for college scholarships for children and spouses of our nation’s soldiers.

Our scholarships are need-based – enabling those who most need and deserve the opportunity to transform their lives through higher education the opportunity to do so. This year, ThanksUSA received nearly 1,800 applications from the spouses and children of our armed forces. While we were honored to provide more than 250 scholarships in 2015, valued at $3,000 each, we could only meet a small portion of the need among deserving applicants. In 2016, with your help and that of other likeminded Americans, we seek to award at least 500 scholarships totaling $1.5 million. T• Scholarship Program Highlights An Urgent Call H Our liberties come with a heavy price. America’s servicemen and servicewomen volunteer to serve our nation and find themselves on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result of this dedication of their careers and lives to our great nation, the loved ones left at home become, in a way, our families and our children too. ThanksUSA is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization that mobilizes Americans of all ages to provide tangible thanks to the men and women serving our country and defending our freedoms through need-based educational scholarships to the dependents and spouses of U.S. military personnel, with special emphasis given to those who lost a loved one in service to America. ince ThanksUSA’s inception in 2006, we have S awarded nearly 3,700 scholarships for a total value of more than $11 million ●● Our scholarship recipients represent all military branches – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserve – and come from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia ●● T• About ThanksUSA U S A 2015/16 Choice of Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington ThanksUSA has been chosen for the 2015/16 Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington, making it one of the region’s best community-based charities. This award recognizes ThanksUSA’s effectiveness and success in working to provide scholarships to children and spouses of military families. “I am very proud of my father’s military career and it’s nice to know that ThanksUSA and its sponsors continue to honor military families.” — Kevin Forsyth Justin Kidd Jackson Casey/ThanksUSA Scholar in attendance “I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Jackson Casey Fund/ ThanksUSA scholarship. You are allowing students like myself the opportunity to succeed in our endeavors during a significant time in our lives. What you have done, and continue to do, deserves more than a simple ‘thanks.’ I will go beyond by using your donation to continue my education, become a master in my field, use my expertise to provide aid to others, and leave a legacy of my own. Thank you so much.” Though his military childhood presented challenges, Justin Kidd now realizes the life lessons he learned along the way. “My experiences taught me much about perseverance, tenacity, determination, interpersonal relationships, and diversity. Most importantly, my military upbringing taught me to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy as U.S. citizens, the many who sacrificed to afford us such freedoms, and a strong sense of duty.” With the assistance of a $3,000 Jackson Casey Fund/ThanksUSA scholarship, this proud Air Force dependent is continuing undergraduate studies as an Honors College student at James Madison University. Majoring in kinesiology, Justin plans to earn a medical degree and specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation. “I feel not only motivated but also inspired to study kinesiology, earn my professional degree, and share the expertise that I gain with those who need aid.” To complement his studies, Justin is a member of the JMU Honors Fraternity and the Pre-Physical Therapy and Pre-Medical Societies, and is a Human Physiology Teaching Assistant. In the fall of 2016, he will serve as an Honors 100 First-Year Seminar Teaching Assistant, mentoring Honors College freshmen. In addition to his studies, Justin serves on the Philanthropy Committee of the Pre-Med Association. He has raised funds for Special Olympics, participated in Relay for Life, and distributed food to needy families in the community. Justin also enjoys sharing his school spirit as a JMU musician. An enthusiastic member of the Marching Royal Dukes, Justin performed during every football game, marched in the Harrisonburg holiday parade, and traveled to numerous locations to entertain and inspire. Justin and his bandmates make sure that JMU’s annual high school band competition, Parade of Champions, runs smoothly, and he hopes to be a Marching Royal Dukes drill instructor in the upcoming academic year.
