Stan Evans Named
Holiday Evening Chairmen
Prominent local business leader, Stan Evans, has been named Chairman of
The Edison Foundation’s 21st Annual Holiday Evening at Edison State.
This year’s event will be held on Wednesday, November 28th at the Piqua
campus and will feature New York City high-energy brassy funk band
Lucky Chops. Proceeds from the evening will directly benefit the Edison
Foundation Scholarship Fund which supports Edison State students
through scholarship opportunities.
Evans’ ties to Edison State date back to 1976, as he began
participating in and supporting many programs including the annual
gala. Evans has been a loyal attendee and a generous financial
supporter of Holiday Evening for years and is flattered to be the
chairman of this year’s Holiday Evening event.
Evans joined The Edison Foundation Board of Directors in 2008 and
served two terms that ended in 2014. He then served again from 2015 to
2018. During his time on the Board, he served as Chairman of the Edison
Foundation Board and on the Executive Committee, Finance Committee,
Scholarship Committee and the Holiday Evening at Edison State Committee.
In 2014, Evans received the Citizen of the Year award from the Tipp
City Chamber of Commerce, the Philanthropist of the Year award from the
Tipp City Foundation and the Community Service Award from the Most
Worshipful Grand Master of Ohio for his Masonic work.
“It is estimated that Edison State students spend nearly $2.4 million
dollars annually in the community,” said Evans. “The more money we can
give to students, the more students we can have at our college and the
more that benefits our community.”
Tickets for the Holiday Evening at Edison State event are $125 per
person which includes heavy hor de’oeuvres, wine and admission to the
show. For more information, contact Julie Slattery by emailing
jslattery@edisonohio.edu or calling 937-778-7805. The Edison Foundation
is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, tax-exempt organization.
