Because of generous giving, KAOEF Chairman Scott Heath’s matching challenge has been met, and that momentum is already changing lives.

As a member of the KAOEF Scholarship Committee, I have a firsthand look at the impact these gifts make. I’ve seen how scholarships help brothers stay in school, focus on academics, and fully engage in the KA experience—often at moments when that support makes all the difference.

That’s why I’m stepping forward today.

Inspired by the generosity already shown, I will match the next $5,000 given, dollar for dollar, with no minimum gift. Every contribution will be doubled until the match is met.

Thanks to the generosity of KAs across the country, I’m pleased to share that the $10,000 matching challenge by Knight Commander Schmuck and his wife Judy has been fully met, and we are off to a great start!

To keep the momentum going, my wife Pam and I will match the next $5,000 in gifts.

We had the privilege of witnessing that education firsthand when our son became a KA. That experience only strengthened my commitment to the mission of the KAOEF.
