Excitement filled the air on April 25th as Davie Community Foundation hosted A Night at the Oscars! The stars for the evening were high school seniors from across Davie County as they gathered with their families and foundation donors at the Brock Performing Arts Center. Oscars were awarded for 84 scholarships to 61 students in the class of 2019. As of May 1st Foundation awards total $219,095 in scholarships to high school and college students with more selections to be made in June!
Jane Simpson, Foundation President and CEO, and Jennifer Hanes, Foundation Vice-Chairwoman were hosts for the evening. They introduced Foundation Board members and guests, who described the “Scholarship Oscars” being awarded. Each presentation ended with announcing “the Scholarship Oscar goes to…” bringing about a great deal of surprise and excitement as names were read and trophies presented.
It was a wonderfully exciting evening for everyone thanks to the support of generous sponsors: BB&T, Donald Bowles, CPA, Cathy and Grady McClamrock, Jr., Dr. Bill Steed, Hillsdale Dental, and Fuller Welding and Fabrication.
Now in its thirty-first year, the Davie Community Foundation has awarded more than $1.4 million in scholarships to residents of Davie County. Seventy-four endowed scholarships are currently administered by the Foundation, with two first-time scholarships awarded this year. In addition to the High School recipients recognized at the Oscars, twenty-three college students also received awards.
