To inspire and develop young leaders of character.
The Foundation will use donations to provide schools and organizations with inspiring leadership and character development programs, will provide scholarships to various organizations committed to developing young leaders, and will support military character development programs.
Tom’s heroic action on June 24, 2016 fulfilled his personal mission outlined in his West Point entrance essay: “I want to dedicate my life to serve and protect those who are not able to do so for themselves. A career in the military is not only something I desire; it is something I truly feel called to do.”
We see Tom’s courageous story inspiring students to become leaders of character who will transform our nation. Please help us in our mission.
In honor of Cadet Thomas Surdyke,
