No Greater Sacrifice Foundation receives a True Inspiration Award from the Chick-fil-A Foundation
In May 2017, NGS received the Chick-fil-A Foundation's True Inspiration Award in the Emerging Leadership category, accepted by Col. Tim Karcher (Ret.) in Atlanta.

In May 2017, the No Greater Sacrifice Foundation received a True Inspiration Award from the Chick-fil-A Foundation. No Greater Sacrifice received this award in the Emerging Leadership category, in recognition of our efforts to educate the children of our fallen and severely wounded Service members, developing our nation’s future leaders from the children of our nation’s current heroes.
Colonel Tim Karcher (U.S. Army, Retired), the No Greater Sacrifice Director of Outreach Development, attended the Chick-fil-A True Inspiration Awards Gala in Atlanta, and received the award on behalf of our Foundation. No Greater Sacrifice is sincerely honored to accept this prestigious award, and very pleased to partner with the Chick-fil-A Foundation in our joint efforts to recognize the sacrifices of our Military Families, and provide educational opportunities for their children. No Greater Sacrifice and Chick-fil-A are both committed to shaping children’s lives and helping them build a better future.
Thank you Chick-fil-A Foundation. “Eat mor Chikin” and help “Educate the Children of American Heroes.”
