Marilyn Thorne – 2019 Woman of the Year

Oxon Hill Charter Chapter will honor our Woman of the Year on May 18, 2019. Ticket cost is $50 per person.

Marilyn is a strong supporter of our Chapter, our community, her church, her sorority (AKA), and runs a successful business that employs many and provides great service to Prince George’s County. Marilyn has selected as her theme, “Phenomenal God, Phenomenal You, Phenomenal Me!” Her colors are black and white with a touch of pink and green.

Marilyn has requested that in lieu of personal gifts, donations be made to her alma mater, North Carolina A&T State University. Enter “Marilyn Thorne Endowment” on the check memo line. We hope that you will honor her request. The endowment fund is a tax deductible 501 (c)(3).
