On October 6, philanthropist Kenneth Fisher will receive the 2022 Sylvanus Thayer Award during ceremonies hosted by Superintendent LTG Steve Gilland '90, at West Point. The Corps of Cadets will conduct a parade in his honor at 5pm, on the Plain, prior to the award presentation dinner.
As the Chairman and CEO of Fisher House Foundation, Ken oversees an international network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving medical treatment. Presently, 92 such “Fisher Houses” exist throughout the U.S., the U.K. and Germany. The Fisher House Foundation has provided assistance to more than 413,000 military families. On any given night, more than 1,300 military families are sleeping in a Fisher House. Read more.
