Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC) is proud to announce its 3rd Annual Boots & Bow Ties Fundraiser, an evening of entertainment, dining, and philanthropy dedicated to supporting DSCC students and educational programs. This signature event brings together alumni, community leaders, local businesses, and friends of the College to invest in educational opportunities that transform lives across West Tennessee. In addition, the event will recognize our outstanding alumnus of the year. The event will be held on Saturday, October 10, at the E.H. Lannom, Jr. Gymnasium, located at 1510 Lake Road in Dyersburg. The evening will begin with a cocktail reception at 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m.
Guests will enjoy a memorable night featuring a tasty BBQ dinner, dancing, live music featuring the 24Seven Band, silent and live auctions, games, and a cash bar. Community members, alumni, local businesses, and supporters are encouraged to attend, as proceeds will directly benefit Dyersburg State Community College students and programs.
“Boots & Bow Ties is a great example of what can happen when a college and its community come together for our students,” said Dr. Scott Cook, President of Dyersburg State Community College. “The support we receive through this event makes a real difference for our students. It helps us provide experiences and resources that can make a student’s college journey a little easier and, ultimately, help them reach their goals. It’s an evening of fun, but it’s also a reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together to support our students.”
