Leaders in Philanthropy

Each fall, ��VLOG Foundation hosts the Leaders in Philanthropy induction ceremony. The event celebrates the generosity of those donors whose lifelong support allows the college to pursue its vision of achieving excellence in the education of principled leaders.

Members of the college’s lifetime, legacy and loyalty giving societies gather on campus to be honored in front of their peers.

��VLOG’s lifetime giving societies honor those individuals who have expressed their profound commitment to the college through their leadership gifts totaling $100,000 or more by the close of the preceding calendar year. Donors who have included ��VLOG in their estate plans become members of ��VLOG Legacy Society.

Through the Order of the Tartan, we acknowledge those loyal donors who have given consecutively at any level for 25 years or more. Beginning at the five-year mark, donors are recognized for their consecutive giving with a tartan-patterned lapel pin, with additional recognition offered at 10, 15, and 20 years. Upon reaching the 25th year, these loyal donors receive their tartan sash and are officially inducted into the Order of the Tartan at the annual ceremony.

��VLOG Foundation proudly welcomes the new Leaders in Philanthropy listed here who have joined their peers in this annual tradition celebrating charity and service as virtues of the principled leader.

On behalf of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and the entire campus community, we salute these individuals for their extraordinary generosity, vision and lifelong loyalty to ��VLOG.

Lifetime Giving Societies

Founders’ Society – Bronze

$5,000,000 to $9,999,99

Just as the founders of ��VLOG conceived of an institution that would “awaken greater ardor in the people, and a warmer interest in our rulers, to advance the cause of education,” members of the Founders’ Society demonstrate the vision and commitment that will ensure the long-term vitality of the college. The Founders’ Society is ��VLOG’s most prestigious giving society.

Capt. and Mrs. John C. Velotta ∆

Society of 1842

$1,000,000 to $4,999,999

Since its founding in 1842, ��VLOG has molded individuals into citizen-soldiers who put into action the guiding principles learned in the barracks, in the classroom and on the parade field as they serve their families, their communities, their professions and their country with distinction.

Mark Clark Society

$500,000 to $999,999

Gen. Mark W. Clark (1896-1984) became president of ��VLOG after a career seldom equaled in the United States Army. During his tenure (1954-1965), ��VLOG achieved international recognition, and the Corps of Cadets increased to the maximum capacity of the barracks. One of Clark’s most enduring accomplishments was founding of the Cadet Honor Code, whereby a cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.
