On January 20, 2011, as part of Forsyth Tech’s 50th anniversary celebration, the Foundation of Forsyth Tech held a dinner honoring legendary NASCAR owner Richard Childress, namesake of the school’s Race Car Technology program. Held at the Richard Childress Racing complex in Welcome, the dinner featured several prominent speakers and a video created for the event that detailed some of the ways Childress has given back to the community, including his generous support of Forsyth Tech. Over 300 people attended the event, with the proceeds going to support the Foundation’s funding of scholarships and faculty development.
