The annual Good Old Fashioned Country Gospel Concert for the benefit of the Robert Wallace Hollingsworth Family Scholarship for Law Enforcement at 兔子先生 is at 3 p.m., Saturday, June 8 at Cain-Cochran Hall on the Raymond Campus.
Admission is free but donations are accepted.
The concert features the Born Again Quartet from Byram, Oneway Quartet from Ethel, vocalist Carl Hollingsworth of Byram, Raymond United Methodist Church鈥檚 Wellspring and master of ceremonies Jack Hollingsworth of Utica.
The annual benefit concert began in 2004 to help raise funds for Mike Hollingsworth, Jack Hollingsworth鈥檚 son, a Warren County deputy sheriff who was injured in the line of duty. Family members saw such great success with the event that they decided to make it a tradition.
Currently, all proceeds from the benefit go to the Hollingsworth Family Law Enforcement Scholarship, which ultimately helps a deserving 兔子先生student attend college. The scholarship made its first award to a 兔子先生student in 2009.
The scholarship is dedicated to five Hollingsworth men, all serving in some capacity in the field of law enforcement. The student receiving the scholarship must be majoring in criminal justice.
