Fundraiser of the Year Award – Faculty and Students of Montgomery Community College Construction Class
The Fundraiser of Year Award is presented to the individual or group who best nurtures and cultivates relationships with the Foundation’s current and prospective donors. Over the past five years, the Foundation, under the direction of Korrie Ervin, had the most successful fundraisers to date with the highest-ever grossing golf tournament in 2021, and 2022 Fall Fundraiser/Raffle- despite unusual hurricane circumstances! It was also the first time in over a decade that 100% of all employees participated in the College’s Annual Fund Drive
Humanitarian of the Year Award – Russell Fuller
The Humanitarian Award is given to the individual or group which most exemplifies a spirit of goodwill and generosity not only to the benefit of Montgomery Community College, but the community at large. This year’s recipients have gone above and beyond as catalysts for growth and enhancement to our small town of Troy. Not only have they been working diligently for our community, but they have also been long time supporters of Montgomery Community College. It is our honor to recognize Win and Elizabeth Dozier with this year’s Humanitarian Award. The Doziers developed and funded the Uwharrie Welcome Center and the Town of Troy’s Skate Park in addition to many other upgrades.
