The Oak Hollow Farm in Fairhope was buzzing on Friday night as Baldwin County Education Coalition hosted their annual "Evening of Education Champions" event to benefit the district's future teacher program.
The event featured live music, food, refreshments and a silent auction to raise funds for both the "Baldwin Bred Future Teacher Program" and the "Josh Hall memorial scholarship."
The future teacher program recognizes Baldwin County graduates and current high school seniors who are pursuing a degree in education, while the memorial scholarship recognizes employees and children of county employees who also strive to become teachers or obtain a degree in education.
Tiffany Wilson, human resources director, said the event was inspired by her desire to support students interested in the education field, while also facilitating community outreach.
"I was a student in Baldwin County, and I'm a living testament of what an impact other educators can have on a person," Wilson said. "So now, that one person can make an impact that can change a life. Imagine the impact that we can make if we continue to bring great people into the field of education."
