The Education Equal Opportunity Group (EEOG) will host its 12th annual Fundraising and Awards Gala on Saturday, August 22, at 6:30 pm at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel. The Gala will benefit the EEOG’s college bound emerging student leaders with funds going towards our program deliverables; including the Annual Project Save-A-Student Leadership and Training Conference, the Educational Speaker Series and the EEOG’s Summer Leadership Program.
The evening will begin with an open wine reception where guests will have a chance to mingle, bid in the silent auction and enjoy live music. This year’s Gala is cocktail attire and promises to be the experience of the summer. Students will share their personal testimonials of the positive impact their involvement with the EEOG has had on their day-to-day academic and personal life. During the gala two extraordinary individuals, Rosetta Miller-Perry and Shelia Gibson will be honored at the celebration for their unyielding support of the EEOG as the 2015 Pioneer Award Recipients.
“It’s Your Time to LEAD!” is the theme and message that Dewayne Scott co-founded, President and Chief Executive Officer of SRS, Inc., will deliver as the keynote speaker.
