The Davey O’Brien Foundation
Davey O’Brien’s longtime friend and business partner, Charles Ringler, believed that the accomplishments and commitment of one of Fort Worth’s finest sports heroes deserved to be honored and remembered. In November 1977, just before O’Brien passed away from cancer, Ringler and other members of The Fort Worth Club established the Davey O’Brien Foundation and the Davey O’Brien Memorial Trophy.
The purpose of the Davey O’Brien Foundation is to recognize outstanding student-athletes for their achievements both on and off the field through the Foundation’s various awards programs. Since 1977, the Foundation has given away more than $1.3 million in scholarships and university grants to help high school and college athletes transform leadership on the field into leadership in life.
Each year at it’s annual dinner, the Davey O’Brien Foundation honors and recognizes winners of the four awards it oversees: the National Quarterback Award, the Legends Award, the Charles Ringler Founders Award, and the High School Scholarship Award.
The Davey O’Brien Foundation is a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in downtown Fort Worth.
Davey O’Brien High School Scholarship Award
The Davey O’Brien High School Scholarship award is open to all high school seniors attending an accredited public or private high school in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant and Wise County. Each school may nominate only one student through a process determined by the school.
