Tribute to Community STARs
The first Tribute to Community STARs event was held in April 2007. We were delighted that so many joined us in celebration of the achievements and contributions attained by the outstanding men and women that were sponsored. Often times, we don't take the opportunity to say thank you to others for a job well done or to recognize ones impact he or she has made in the community.
Sponsorship Support of the 2007 Tribute to Community STARs assisted the Savannah Technical College Foundation in supporting the College's efforts to enhance the adult literacy program, learning, workforce training, and economic development in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham and Liberty counties.
The Foundation focuses its efforts on securing private gifts and grants to enhance student access and program quality. Investments support scholarships, endowments and grants to supplement educational opportunities, enhance faculty development and increase awareness of Savannah Technical College programs.
This event, coordinated by the Savannah Technical College Foundation's Community Council, is to honor individuals in our community that make a difference!
Opportunity Gala
The Opportunity Gala honors deserving civic leaders for a lifetime of service in creating and enhancing opportunities for others to succeed. These individuals have demonstrated a commitment to creating opportunities for Georgians both locally and at the state level. Past recipients include former Governor Zell Miller, Arnold Tenenbaum of Chatham Steel and most recently, Judge Griffin Bell.
The Opportunity Award is presented annually in a year end formal celebration providing the occasion for the community to recognize the lifetime accomplishments of the recipient. The Opportunity Gala also provides an opportunity for the community to invest in the Savannah Technical College Foundation in the name of the recipient and thus provide opportunities for others through education and training.
Founded in 1929 as The Opportunity School, this annual signature event began with our 75th anniversary year in 2004. From the very beginning, this institution has been creating opportunities through technical education. The Foundation felt it was only fitting to honor individuals who have devoted their lives to the same undertaking.
