We invite you to join us as a sponsor of the 22nd Annual Opportunity Award Gala, a celebration of leadership, workforce development, and education across Georgia.

This year, we are proud to honor Robert E. James, Chairman of the Board and President of Carver State Bank, for his extraordinary leadership in banking, economic development, and community service. With more than five decades at the helm of Carver State Bank, James has made a lasting impact on Savannah and Coastal Georgia through his commitment to expanding economic opportunity, strengthening businesses, and improving the lives of those in his community.

The gala will highlight the remarkable talents of Savannah Technical College’s culinary students, who will showcase their skills throughout the evening. Additionally, guests will experience our college’s diverse hands-on training programs through a specially curated exhibit during the pre-dinner cocktail reception, offering an intimate look at the quality education Savannah Tech provides.

Your sponsorship empowers student success across more than 190 instructional programs, providing future professionals with essential hands-on training in real-world skills and trades. By investing in our students, you are helping build the skilled workforce that drives Georgia’s growth and innovation.

We hope you will be a sponsor and join us for this meaningful evening of celebration and impact.
