Hill College announces 20th annual Boots & Suits event

Hill College has announced plans for the 20th annual Boots & Suits event Thursday, April 10, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., at a new venue this year, the Union House in Cleburne. This annual event celebrates and supports access to higher education by raising scholarship funds for Hill College students.

Community support of Boots & Suits is a signature event that strengthens Hill College’s ability to lead students toward success. Each year, Hill College serves over 5,000 students who want to advance their education.

Through the college’s four career pathways (Arts & Humanities, Business & Industry, Health & Public Service and STEM), students can focus the direction of their education. Each pathway is geared toward guiding students in their area of interest, serving as a tool to help them better align their education with their desired careers and job training.
“Boots & Suits is a cherished tradition at Hill College, bringing together friends and supporters for an evening that makes a tremendous impact,” said Executive Director of Institutional Advancement Ashlee Ferguson.

“The funds raised provide scholarships and essential job training for students who might not otherwise have access to higher education. Each dollar invested benefits not just our students, but their families and our entire community. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of our sponsors and guests, whose support makes this event and its mission possible year after year.”

Businesses, organizations and individuals interested in sponsoring Boots & Suits have several partnership levels to choose from, including: Presenting Partner for $7,000, providing three scholarships for students; Gold Partner for $5,000, providing two scholarships; Silver Partner for $3,000, providing one scholarship; Bronze Partner for $1,250; and Partner for $750.

Each level includes a select number of tickets to the event. Individual tickets are also available for $75 per person.

In addition to providing scholarship funds, each sponsorship level offers benefits to sponsors, including special recognition before, during and after the event.
