The honorees were joined by approximately 300 family, friends, and community supporters.

Following a cocktail hour and dinner, guests were treated to an awards presentation ceremony narrated by Beaufort’s own Rick Forschner and hosted by Charles Tumlin, President of the Foundation for Leadership Education, and board member Alice Beddingfield Moss. The ceremony was followed by dessert and mingling.&nbsp;
