The Marshall University Foundation and Marshall University Alumni Association, in partnership with the 75 Families Alumni Chapter, invite you to a special 20th anniversary commemorative screening of "We Are Marshall" at the historic Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 13 at 8 pm.

More than a film screening, this unforgettable evening will bring the Marshall family and Huntington community together to honor the 75 lives lost in the Nov. 14, 1970, plane crash, recognize those forever impacted and celebrate the remarkable resilience that shaped the university and the city in the years that followed.

In celebration of the film's 20th anniversary, the Keith-Albee lobby will be transformed into a special commemorative exhibition featuring authentic film memorabilia and artifacts from Marshall University Special Collections. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the history behind the film and experience the enduring legacy of a story that continues to inspire generations.

The evening will also feature an exclusive fireside chat with Marshall University President Brad D. Smith and Jamie Linden, screenwriter of "We Are Marshall," offering a unique perspective on the film, its creation and the lasting significance of sharing Marshall's story.

As a special tribute to this milestone anniversary, the first 1,000 attendees will receive an exclusive commemorative keepsake. Guests will also have the opportunity to bid on a one-of-a-kind, custom-crafted piece by BearWood Company during a special silent auction.

🎟️ Tickets go on sale Friday, October 16 at 10 am!

The Marshall University Foundation has announced a $30,000 gift to establish the John and Linda Williams Scholarship. This scholarship is generously endowed by John and Linda Williams, who dedicated their lives to philanthropy.

On Aug. 25, 2026, Linda Williams passed away at the age of 81. Her generous spirit lives on, reflected by a lifetime of giving back to West Virginia, the place that she so proudly called home. She lived by a motto inspired by her mother, “‘Can’t’ never did anything. ‘Try’ did it all.”

The John and Linda Williams Scholarship is inspired by the power of education, experience and lending a helping hand to those who need it. Following the creation of the Marshall For All program, the Williamses felt moved by the goal of creating more accessible education for the next generation.

“We’re so blessed to be lucky enough to help people,” John Williams said. “There’s a need for every craft and there’s nothing better than helping young people pursue an education. We feel very honored to be able to contribute to that.”
