This year, for the first time ever, tickets to the Gold & White Honors Gala will be on sale to all Georgia Tech alumni and friends, an inspirational evening to celebrate greatness and support students.
The Gold & White Honors are the most prestigious awards given out each year by the Georgia Tech Alumni Association including the Joseph Mayo Pettit Alumni Distinguished Service Award. The event, which has always been invitation only, now will be open to the entire Georgia Tech and Atlanta communities.
Attendees will get to mingle with some of Tech’s most accomplished alumni with all proceeds benefitting student programming to develop and inspire the next generation of alumni leaders.
“The award recipients have always been an inspiration to event attendees, and this year is no exception,” said Joe Irwin, IM 80, President and CEO of the Alumni Association. “Opening the event up to the entire community and adding an auction seemed like a natural evolution to help ensure Tech’s extraordinary students become our future extraordinary alumni.”
The event, which is presented by Waffle House, will be held Feb. 21, 2013, at the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead and include dinner and recognition of the 2013 awards. Also, for the first time ever, the event will feature a silent auction. Bid items include a life-size Buzz statue, a ride in the Ramblin’ Reck or dinner cooked in your home by Chris Hall, the owner and chef at Local Three and an avid Tech fan.
TBX Benefit Partners is a gold sponsor of the event, and State Bank and Trust Company is a silver sponsor. Sponsorships are still available, and tables are available for purchase for a limited time.
