Scholar Athlete Dinner
Primary among its efforts, the Baltimore Chapter sponsors the annual Scholar Athlete Awards Dinner, which recognizes a young man from each of the football-playing high schools in Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Harford, and Howard counties. The first dinner was held in 1964 at the Belvedere Hotel under the chairmanship of Dr. R.D. “Bo” Menton, Jr. That year, 380 people attended the affair honoring 31 Scholar-Athletes. Through the years, more than 3,300 Scholar-Athletes have been honored and over 50,000 people have attended the dinner.
Scholarships awarded have amounted to more than $300,000. Over 1,200 people attended the 2010 dinner where we honored 94 outstanding young men. The budget for this year's affair exceeded $70,000, in contrast to the original year's budget of $3,500. The Chapter takes great pride in its Scholar-Athlete Dinner, which is the largest of more than 100 similar dinners held by Football Foundation chapters and is the only one that honors a Scholar-Athlete nominee from each of the football-playing high schools in its chapter area.
