Giving Back
Family Scholarship Fund

Because our legacy isn't just about where we've been — it's about where our children are going.

🎓

Davis Pemberton Family Scholarship

The Davis Pemberton Family Scholarship Fund was established to invest in the academic dreams of our family's next generation. A portion of every reunion registration goes directly toward supporting incoming and current college students within our family.

Whether you're heading to college for the first time or working toward your degree, this fund exists to lighten the load and celebrate your achievement. We believe education is one of the most powerful ways to honor those who came before us — and to build something lasting for those who come after.

"We've come this far by faith — and we carry each other forward."
