Shannon & Ted Skokos are visionaries who use philanthropy to fulfill their mission to leave this world better than they found it. Ted Skokos served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve (1971-1992) and was one of 550 soldiers to serve in all three missions of the Persian Gulf War. An attorney and business entrepreneur, Ted found his niche in the cellular telephone industry. Shannon Skokos won the title of Miss Arkansas 1992 and became a successful attorney in her own right, along with being a published author and photographer.
Throughout their success, they remained grounded by their Christian faith and believed that to whom much is given, much is expected in return. Accordingly, when a company that Ted had co-founded sold in 2008, the couple founded the Ted & Shannon Skokos Foundation and were committed to being good stewards of the blessing.
Since that time, the Skokos Foundation has made major gifts to support the arts, presidential libraries, war memorials, hospitals, shelters for women and children, and Christian ministries, and has endowed numerous academic scholarships. The Skokos Foundation made a $12 million gift to the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts to advance inspiration through the arts in North Texas. Never forgetting from where they came, the Skokos Foundation likewise made a $1 million gift to support the Ted and Shannon Skokos Performing Arts Center in Northwest Arkansas and endowed an annual $50,000 scholarship at its co-founder Shannon Skokos’ high school alma mater for graduating seniors of the Alma School District. The Skokos Foundation similarly funds an annual $30,000 scholarship to the winner of the Miss Arkansas competition, among a variety of other scholarships at various universities.
From inception, the Skokos Foundation and its founders have been committed to the enrichment of human self-worth, the appreciation of selfless sacrifice, the responsibility of embracing those suffering, and the quest for medical advancement to improve the lives of all, from supporting hospital nurses assigned to the COVID wings during the height of the global pandemic, to making Christmas magic happen for abused and neglected children in local shelters, to serving meals to police officers in appreciation for their sacrifice and service. Ted serves as the Chairman of the Board for the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation in Washington D.C., and the Skokos Foundation has committed $1.3 million toward the construction of a memorial to serve as a place of healing and honor for the families of those who paid the ultimate price to defend our country in the U.S.’s global war on terrorism.
Most importantly, at the core of everything the Skokos do is their faith in Jesus Christ and thus the Skokos Foundation was the founding sponsor of faith leaders Dr. Jim Denison and his wife Janet in the creation of Denison Ministries, which now reaches an aggregate audience of 6.8 million people each month worldwide, equipping believers to transform the world around them.
