Athens attorney Nancy Perkins has pledged a multi-million dollar gift in honor of her mother, naming the Trinity Valley Community College Foundation as the beneficiary of her entire estate. The gift will be formally announced and celebrated on September 15, 2016 at 5 p.m. in the auditorium adjacent to the Orval Pirtle Administration Building, which will ultimately be renamed the Pauline Knight Perkins Performing Arts Center. Nancy will present the TVCC Foundation with a 1946-47 signed yearbook belonging to her mother and celebrate in her mother’s legacy. Pauline Perkins was the first secretary to college founder and President Orval Pirtle, and ultimately became the longest-living member of the original faculty. Pauline passed away in 2016 at the age of 90.

“TVCC is where my mother began her professional career and where she was happiest,” said Nancy. “Her gift is her legacy, which we believe will help future generations and will forever commemorate her beauty and her generosity.”
