To honor Randy’s love of music and his unwavering support for our armed forces, we are establishing a scholarship in his name as part of our community impact initiatives.

This scholarship will:
- Provide financial support for veterans studying music in college

The MSG Mark Davey Memorial Scholarship
Named in honor of MSG Davey, a respected leader and veteran who owned a small business in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, this scholarship is designed to support veterans pursuing entrepreneurship after military service.

This scholarship will:
- Provide micro-grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 for veteran-owned startups
