2026 Ties and Tennies-Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship

Ties and Tennies Gala

Join us for an electrifying evening at the Ties and Tennies Gala on Saturday, February 7, 2026 starting at 7 PM.

This event will be a night filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories for an incredible cause.

Get ready to don your fanciest ties and comfiest tennies, or heels if you prefer as we celebrate in style. Whether you're a sneaker enthusiast or not, this gala welcomes everyone with open arms. The Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship is awarding tennis shoes to children in need in Greene County through the Greene County Public Schools. Our annual 5K memorial race - Jogging For Jess also raises funds for The Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship.

Indulge in heavy h'ors d'oeuvres and cash bar.

Our live entertainment The Uptown Party Band from Charlotte, NC will keep you grooving all night long.

Don't forget to capture the magic of the night at our photo booth, where you can strike poses with your friends and loved ones. And for those feeling lucky, we have an exciting silent auction you won't want to miss.

So mark your calendars for the Ties and Tennies Gala, a night that promises to be a blend of elegance and comfort. Come and join us for an unforgettable experience!

The Jessica Colter Memorial Scholarship Fund provides annual financial scholarships to deserving and driven students pursuing a nursing degree. Our purpose is for Jessica's legacy to continue through the scholarship recipients. Jessica was loving, driven to succeed, goal oriented, cared deeply for her family and faith and served her community. Recipients should reflect these same characteristics
