Dr. Tracy Brundage, ABAC President, and Dr. Michael Kirkland, Executive Director of ABAC Bainbridge, recognized students as well as the generosity of the many donors who make the scholarships possible. Erin Lenz brought greetings from the Foundation. Students who were recognized for their academic achievements came from seven southwest Georgia counties.
