GreyStone also was presenting sponsor for the 2017 Boar's Head Alumni Weekend kickoff and guest speaker, retired Col. Jimmy Blackmon; the event is hosted each year by the North Georgia Corps of Cadets Association (NGCCA).
"We are well-aware of the legacy of leadership, courage and sacrifice that alumni of the corps, like Col. Blackmon, represent," Wright said. "We hope that our partnership with the NGCCA and the Corps of Cadets will help to strengthen 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 as the Military College of Georgia and help prepare cadets for their future roles as leaders in our Army, our state and our nation."
On Nov. 10, representatives of GreyStone Power Corp. presented a check for $28,000 to Phil Collins, development officer for the Corps of Cadets at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果.
"GreyStone Power Corp. has embraced the message of the 'Georgia Gold, American Treasure' fundraising initiative," Collins said. "As a responsible corporate citizen of Georgia, their partnership affirms the importance of the 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 Corps of Cadets to Georgia and the nation. We are so appreciative of their commitment and pleased to announce that they will be the presenting sponsor of the Boar’s Head Weekend guest speaker in 2018.”
