The Vol State Athletic Association Golf Classic, benefiting the Vol State College Foundation took place on August 7 and netted over $18,500.  

The tournament was held at Tennessee Grasslands at Foxland where teams competed for the Vol State Bank Corporate Cup Challenge.  The Golf Classic is held annually and raises money for the Volunteer State Community College Athletic Association.  Prizes were awarded for par 3, long drive, and closest to the pin.

The Volunteer State Community College Foundation raised $36,500 recently with its Complete the Dream dinner, celebrating 30 years of College Foundation service to the community. More than 200 people attended the dinner at the Epic Event Centre in Gallatin. This year’s event spotlighted the importance of Health Sciences scholarships and the equipment used in the new Vol State Nursing program. The funds raised will be used to support the Nursing program and student scholarships in Health Sciences.

The 2019 Educate a Woman luncheon raised more than $37,000 to support scholarships for women at Volunteer State Community College. Best-selling author and syndicated columnist, Ronda Rich, was the featured presenter for the sold-out event. Four hundred people attended. A highlight of the luncheon was an emotional video testimonial from student Anedra Moore, who has overcome many challenges to attend college and received scholarship support that is helping make her dream come true.
