The annual Good Old Fashioned Country Gospel Concert for the benefit of the Robert Wallace Hollingsworth Family Scholarship for Law Enforcement at ºÚÁϹÙÍø is at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, June 16 at Cain-Cochran Hall on the Raymond Campus.
Admission is free but donations are accepted.
The concert features Once Voice from Vicksburg, Potters Clay Quartet from Houston, Born Again Quartet from Byram, pianist Janet Neal from Vicksburg, comedienne Naomi Barnette from Raymond and master of ceremonies Jack Hollingsworth of Utica.
The annual benefit concert began in 2004 to help raise funds for Mike Hollingsworth, Jack Hollingsworth’s 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, [tweetable alt=””]all proceeds go to the Hollingsworth Family Law Enforcement Scholarship[/tweetable], which ultimately helps a deserving Hinds student attend college. The scholarship made its first award to a Hinds 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.
As Mississippi’s largest community college, ºÚÁϹÙÍø is a comprehensive institution offering quality, affordable educational opportunities with more than 170 academic, career and technical programs. With six locations in central Mississippi, Hinds enrolled nearly 12,000 credit students in fall 2015. To learn more, visit or call 1.800.HindsCC.
