DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – The Dothan Housing Authority’s affiliate nonprofit, Our Community, Inc. (OCI), will host the 2025 Susan Morrison Memorial Scholarship Benefit on Saturday, Aug. 16, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at The Royale by Southern Hospitality in Cowarts.
This year’s theme, “Legacy & Learning,” highlights the scholarship’s mission to provide educational opportunities for residents and clients of the Dothan Housing Authority. The program aims to inspire recipients to view housing as a stepping stone toward improving their lives and breaking cycles of intergenerational poverty.
The evening will feature a semi-formal atmosphere with a curated dining experience, live music, and a fundraising auction. Proceeds will support local students in their pursuit of higher education.
Organizers say the scholarship fund honors the legacy of Susan Morrison by empowering future generations through education. “Your presence will help create brighter futures and lasting opportunities for our youth,” event materials state.
The Royale is located at 6340 E. U.S. Highway 84 in Cowarts. Seats can be reserved in advance.
