“…The real safeguard of Democracy… is education.” — FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
Giving Back Through Education:
Mercedes-Benz USA and Mercedes-Benz of Mount Pleasant are proud partners of the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund. Together, honoring the fallen by lifting their children up.
How we help
For every Mercedes-Benz vehicle sold in the U.S. this year, the company will make a donation to the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund, which helps provide eligible military children with college scholarships and other college assistance.
Why we help
Time and again, America’s military members and their families are asked to give of themselves for the rest of us. While they ask little in return, we owe them so much.
Who we help
Mercedes-Benz USA Dealers are honoring fallen members of the U.S. Armed Forces by lifting their children up.
Who was Johnny Mac?
Col. John McHugh, a member of the U.S. Army for 24 years, was killed in action on May 18, 2010, in Kabul, Afghanistan. His fellow West Point classmates then joined together to ensure that his five children would receive a college education. In 2014, that effort grew into the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund.
The results
To date, the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund has awarded over 2,000 scholarships totaling $16 million, and growing.
Join Us In Supporting Military Families.
Scholarships are awarded to families from Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy.
In May of 2010 Colonel John McHugh was killed in action in Afghanistan. He had served his country for 24 years and he left behind five children.
So a few of his former West Point classmates got together to make sure that all five children received a college education. It started out as a couple of classmates just wanting to look after his children to make sure they were taken care of, and then it snowballed into the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund.
As one of Johnny Mac’s classmates said; “That volunteer force needs to know that when they raise their right hand and swear to support and defend the constitution of the United States, they need to know that there’s a bunch of us out here who have their back”.
Since 9/11 more than 5,000 children have lost a parent serving in the military. These children, and thousands more like them, have given up so much. If we can give them an education, it’s the least we can do.
Mercedes-Benz and its dealers are proud partners of the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund. For every Mercedes-Benz vehicle sold in the United States this year, a donation is being made to the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund.
Since 2014, with the help of Mercedes-Benz and their dealers, the Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund has provided over 2,000 scholarships totaling 16 million dollars and growing. Together we are honoring the fallen by lifting their children up.
