As we gear up for the highly anticipated 2024 Annual Scholarship Fundraiser Lunch aboard the Spirit of Washington Brunch Cruise, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 2F DC is incredibly proud to introduce this year’s keynote guest speaker: Mr. Eddie Mallard.
Bringing a life dedicated to service, leadership, and personal resilience, Mr. Mallard’s journey is a powerful testament to the value of pursuing higher education and giving back to the community.
About Mr. Eddie Mallard
Mr. Eddie E. Mallard is a native of Ludowici, Georgia. Following his graduation from Walker High School, he took a path of profound commitment and honor by enlisting in the United States Army. His military background laid a strong foundation for a lifelong journey centered around discipline, community leadership, and excellence.
Believing firmly in the power of continuous learning, Mr. Mallard went on to achieve a Bachelor of Science Degree, channeling his knowledge and experiences into motivating and mentoring the next generation.
Bridging Leadership and Education
At Lodge 2F DC, our scholarship initiative aims to uplift young minds who think critically and act with character. Mr. Mallard’s background bridges the gap between hard work, structural leadership, and academic triumph—making him the perfect voice to inspire our 2024 scholarship recipients, Melia Grace and Alexandra Rodriguez, alongside our community members.
We look forward to hearing his insightful address and welcoming him to the stage on the water this September!
