Hunter and Josh, I am following up on the recent conversation I had with Hunter about an event that a good friend of mine, Jeff Dawson, is hosting on July 25th at Merion Golf Club outside of Philadelphia, where he is a member. The event is for No Greater Sacrifice (NGS) www.*nogreatersacrifice*.org. NGS was started by a couple of friends of Jeff’s that I have gotten to know as well. As background, I met Jeff while working on a real estate project with my partners Chaffin and Light in Maryland. Hunter has spent some time with them as well. He and I became friends and during that time he got to know Beau (during his Attorney General years) and most recently attended the Beau Biden Foundation Golf Event at WCC as my guest where he had the pleasure of meeting the Vice President. Jeff really enjoyed the encounters with Beau and with the VP. Jeff reached out last week to invite me to the NGS event that takes place the Monday of the Democratic National Convention. Now about the event itself; Jeff and NGS are hosting a golf outing and like Beau NGS is focused on helping children. NGS, based in Washington DC, is dedicated to the children of our nation’s fallen and wounded service members delivering scholarships and resources to improve the quality of life through the pursuit of higher education. With this in mind, Jeff and I discussed if there was a way to honor Beau. After discussing this with Hunter, I went back to Jeff and he and the Board of NGS would like to celebrate Beau as a veteran by naming a full ride four year scholarship in Beau Biden’s honor. The recipient will be in attendance for presentation at the July 25th event. Before they proceed they certainly understand the need to ask the Biden Family for their permission to honor Beau this way. They are hoping that I could also help by extending an invitation to Vice President Biden and Hunter to participate in any or all of the event. I have been assured their attendance would not be publicized in any way and it would be to show support to the service members that will be in attendance. They are also hosting members of congress and other officials who will be in town for the DNC. Attached is the event schedule. I certainly think it would be a great thing to do and participate in but also am very clear on scheduling and so forth and the family’s privacy. Please review this as I am sure there will be questions and let me know how to proceed and if this is something we can facilitate. By the way I played the course last week with Jeff and it ate me up!!
