A big ‘thank you’ to Huntsville’s Team Rocket Tri-Club for presenting representatives from the U.S. Space & Rocket Center and U.S. Space & Rocket Center Education Foundation with a check for $3500 to donate to the Space Camp General Scholarship Fund! Their generous donation will help children attend Space Camp that might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. Tri for Ole Glory is held on July 4th and includes a 3.1 mile run, 8 mile mountain bike, and 200 meter swim across the U.S. Space & Rocket Center campus.
