Teamsters Local Union 830, led by Secretary-Treasurer Daniel H. “Danny” Grace, announced details of its 50th Annual Scholarship Fund Awards Banquet, scheduled for Thursday, May 7, in the Heroes Ballroom of FOP Lodge 5, 11630 Caroline Road.
Cocktails will be served at 6 p.m. with the scholarship awards dinner and ceremony to follow at 7. Longtime WHYY-FM City Hall radio reporter Tom MacDonald, the son of a retired Teamsters Local 830 member and a former scholarship recipient himself, will serve as the evening’s keynote speaker.
Tickets for the event are $100 per person.
“Our annual scholarship dinner is the most hotly anticipated social event of the year for our members,” Grace said. “To date, we have awarded 437 high school senior sons and daughters of Teamsters Local 830 members with significant college scholarships. That’s a major financial commitment of $4,396,000 in scholarships to our members’ children. We couldn’t do it without the generosity of our business partners and vendors. The fact this is our 50th golden anniversary at the FOP’s stunning Heroes Ballroom makes it all the more special.”
