Oct. 7 Tickets now on sale for the annual Legacy Awards Luncheon - honoring former Atlanta Mayor and Ambassador Andrew Young

(Media release) Tickets are now available for the sixth annual Legacy Awards Luncheon – the preeminent fundraising event hosted by the Chattahoochee Tech Foundation. Scheduled for Oct. 7, this year's ceremony will feature honoree Andrew Young – former United States Ambassador and mayor of Atlanta.

The Legacy Awards luncheon has been held annually since 2005. Foundation trustees nominate and select an honoree based on that person's establishment of a positive lifetime legacy that has benefited the local, regional, state, or national/international community. Past honorees include Vince Dooley, Roy Barnes, Johnny Isakson, Conley Ingram, Bill Kinney, Truett Cathy and Betty Siegel.

The event is the signature fundraiser for the Chattahoochee Tech Foundation. Funds raised through event sponsorships and ticket sales are used to support students and programs at Chattahoochee Technical College, Georgia's largest technical college with more than 11,000 students enrolled. While many of the students receive traditional financial aid to cover tuition and fees, they find themselves looking for additional funding for tools, uniforms, equipment and books. The foundation also provides support for college needs where state funding falls short.

The luncheon is scheduled to begin at noon at the Atlanta Renaissance Waverly Hotel with a sponsors' reception preceding the event. Ticket prices begin at $65 for an individual seat and $1,000 for table sponsorships.

For ticket or sponsorship information information, call 770-528-4461.
