Black Tie & Boots
Join us on September 20th for West Georgia Technical College Foundation's 22nd annual Black Tie & Boots! This occasion serves as both a fundraiser for WGTC and an expression of gratitude to our community supporters who champion our college, mission, and students.This year’s event promises to be an unforgettable evening with entertainment by the sensational Platinum Southeast Premier Dance Band. Guests will also enjoy a delicious hors d’oeuvres menu handcrafted by celebrity chef Pat Neely with the assistance of WGTC’s Culinary Arts students during the cocktail hour.Last year's event was an unprecedented success. By supporting the WGTC Foundation, you play a crucial role in fostering economic and workforce development. Funds raised from Black Tie & Boots help bridge financial gaps, provide need-based scholarships, and support essential institutional needs.
We offer various partnership levels, each demonstrating a strong commitment to the communities we serve. Your investment directly impacts WGTC students, empowering them to reach their full potential.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration and support. Together we can make a significant difference and continue to transform lives!
