On behalf of The Arrington Foundation, we extend our sincere appreciation to Thomas University and Jenny Dell for the wonderful tour of the new Woodlands Campus.

It was an honor to visit the campus and witness this exciting new chapter for Thomas University. We are especially encouraged by the positive impact this newly renovated campus will have on the surrounding neighborhood and the greater
Thomasville community.

The Arrington Foundation believes deeply in the power of education, community investment, and creating opportunities for future generations. We are excited to see Thomas University continue to grow while investing in a community that means so much to us.

We pray God’s abundant blessings over Thomas University, its leadership, faculty, staff, students, and the Woodlands Campus. May this new beginning be a place where lives are transformed, dreams are realized, and opportunities are created for generations to come.

Congratulations, Thomas University! We look forward to all that is ahead. 💚🤍

The Arrington Foundation was honored to present Regina Arrington Marshall with The Arrington Foundation Family Award on last night.

Regina, the youngest of the Arrington siblings, was recognized for her kindness, generosity, calm spirit, and unwavering love for family and community. She truly represents the values and legacy of Lamar and Mary Lois Arrington through her servant heart, quiet strength, and dedication to others.

Regina attended the banquet alongside her loving husband, Commissioner Demarcus Marshall, and their beautiful daughters, Merideth and Ashlynn Marshall. Their presence made the moment even more special as family, friends, and community members gathered to celebrate such a well deserved honor.

We are proud to celebrate Regina for the impact she continues to make within both her family and the community. Congratulations again on this meaningful recognition.

The Arrington Foundation was truly blessed to welcome Reverend Dr. LaDarius J. Gammage as the speaker of the hour for our Scholarship Award Banquet.

Dr. Gammage delivered a powerful and heartfelt message to our scholarship recipients that was both inspiring and real. One of the most impactful pieces of advice he shared with the students was to keep God first, make the computer lab your second home, and make the sacrifice to stay in your dorm room and study when others choose to go out and party because you have to protect your scholarship and your future.

His words challenged our students to stay focused, disciplined, and committed to excellence. We truly appreciate him for pouring wisdom, encouragement, and life lessons into the next generation.

This stipend is presented to assist with classroom school supplies and as a small token of appreciation for the impact teachers make every day in the lives of students.

We are grateful for educators like Krissy who continue to inspire, encourage, and pour into the next generation. Congratulations again on this well deserved honor. Your hard work and commitment to excellence do not go unnoticed.
