TIFTON, Ga. â Despite not having an in-person gala because of the pandemic, the ABAC Foundation set a record in February by raising funds for student scholarships at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College through A Week for ABAC.
ABAC Arts Connection Director Wayne Jones, who coordinated the event, said the Foundation set a record by raising nearly $130,000 for more than 50 student scholarships.
âWhen we first realized we would not be able to host an in-person event, there was no question that we would push forward and reimagine the event virtually,â Jones said. âItâs just too important for our students.

An Oklahoma University sophomore is fundraising for a nonprofit organization that works to match patients fighting cancer with donors.
Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. In 2018, Natalie Brockâs father became a part of that statistic when he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkinâs Lymphoma.
Be The Match helped her father find a stem cell donor for his transplant, and he is now in remission. Now Brock looks to give back to the organization that saved her fatherâs life.
