BREVARD MUSIC CENTER AWARDS CHAMPION HILLS COMMUNITY DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
HENDERSONVILLE, NC (June 21, 2017) –– Brevard Music Center (BMC) is awarding their Distinguished Service Award to the Champion Hills Community in recognition of more than 20 years of providing support to BMC’s Annual Scholarship Fund through the Champion Hills Gala. This year’s Gala will be held on Monday, June 26 at the Champion Hills Club.
The community of Champion Hills in Hendersonville has been giving back to BMC for more than 20 years, hosting an annual Gala to benefit BMC’s Student Scholarship Fund. Typically held in June each year, the Gala evening includes performances by selected Music Center students in front of an audience of more than 100 enthusiastic friends. The Champion Hills Gala is the community’s longest running fundraising event and has contributed more than $500,000 to the Music Center. The funds raised have supported hundreds of BMC students since the inaugural Gala took place in the home of Maurine and Ken Bagwell in the summer of 1994.
