New "Hancock Honors" Event Celebrates Community Leaders
APRIL 26, 2023-- Allan Hancock College will recognize three exceptional community leaders who have made a positive and lasting impact through their lives and work at the college’s inaugural “Hancock Honors” celebration.
The event, which will take place on Sept. 9 at the college’s new Fine Arts Complex, will honor three luminaries associated with the college. The names of this year’s honorees will be announced in early May.
“For over 100 years, Hancock has educated leaders who’ve changed the odds in our community and beyond,” said Hancock Superintendent/President Kevin G. Walthers, Ph.D. “It’s time we start recognizing these dedicated individuals, and we plan to do just that year-after-year with this new event.”
The 2023 Hancock Honors celebration will be a ticketed event held in the new Fine Arts Complex’s outdoor plaza and 350-seat recital hall. The evening will feature digital interactive art installations, live art production, and music by the San Francisco-based Jazz Mafia.
“We’re planning a fun and memorable night that will have a few surprises,” said AHC Foundation Executive Director Jon Hooten. “We’ll not only celebrate the work of these three honorees, but we’ll also showcase the bright future of our college and our community.”
Additional information about event tickets and corporate sponsorships will be available in May. Proceeds from the Hancock Honors celebration will benefit the Hancock Promise, which provides local high school graduates with a year of free tuition at Hancock.
