Last night we went to the 10th anniversary Treasure Our Troops gala, hosted by ThanksUSA at the Four Seasons.
ThanksUSA was founded by two young sisters who wanted to honor military families for their sacrifices while their troops are away. We snapped award honoree USAF (Ret.) Gen. Norton Schwartz and his wife, Suzie, former 'Skins Darrell Green, and USAF Maj. Gen. Martin Whelen.
ThanksUSA provides scholarships and support to the children and spouses of active-duty personnel. Here, Discovery Communications' Nicole Russell and Jennifer Cortner surround USMC Capt. Mike Russell and American Channel Heroes' Alex and Jon Dorsey.
200 enjoyed a dinner of poached pear salad with maple vinaigrette, smoked salt grilled New York strip, and vanilla bean creme brulee. Here, Marvelously Well-Mannered's Catherine Wallace, Larry Sidman, and iHeartRadio's Sara Morris and Jessica Marventano.
3,700 scholarships have been awarded, totaling more than $11M. Here, US Army Capt. Erin Johnson, OB-C Group's Mike Johnson, Autism Speaks' Kate Johnson, and ThanksUSA's Thalia Assuras.
