In February, the Alumni Association held the re-engineered Gold & White Honors Gala to recognize our incredible alumni and friends for their service to Tech and to benefit our rapidly growing student programs.
Our theme for the Gold & White Gala is “Inspiring Greatness and Honoring Extraordinary,” and that’s exactly what happened in February. The evening was a remarkable success and raised almost $300,000 to support the Association’s “Building Loyal Alumni” programs.
These programs, which include Student Alumni Association, the GT Student Foundation and the GT Ambassadors, are charged with broadening and enriching the Tech experience for both students and alumni.
One alumnus said the 2013 Gala was “the finest Georgia Tech event in my 45 years of being affiliated with Tech,” while another said it was “simply the best Georgia Tech event that I’ve ever experienced.”
We’re now planning edition number two of this event, to be held Feb. 13, 2014.
The Gold & White Honors Gala is the one Georgia Tech event you don’t want to miss. The inspiring program will honor some of Tech’s most loyal alumni, and guests will enjoy a silent auction featuring high-quality products and services—including unique Georgia Tech -themed items.
So far we’ve secured our Presenting Sponsors and six Gold Sponsors.
The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises are the 2014 Gold & White Honors Gala Presenting Sponsors. Waffle House, TBX Partners, State Bank and Trust, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Georgia Power, and Freeman, Mathis and Gary have stepped up as Gold Sponsors for the event.
We want to thank all of these corporate sponsors (and our alumni advocates within those companies) for their support of this truly meaningful effort—the event would not be possible without them.
And we extend the invitation for other sponsors to get involved in ensuring the future success of Georgia Tech’s student programs. As Tech’s reputation rises in the ranks, so does your own.
If your company would like to participate in this unforgettable event and create a connection with the Georgia Tech alumni network and students in a unique way, please contact Melanie King at [email protected] or (404) 894-2259.
