The Bryant School District and athletic department made presentations to Dwight and Susie Everett, owners of Everett Buick GMC, between the first and second quarters of Monday’s football game between the Hornets and the Russellville Cyclones.
The presentation announcement:
“The Bryant School District and it’s Athletic Department would like to express heartfelt gratitude to Dwight and Susie Everett and Everett Buick GMC for continued support of our athletic programs. Each year, the Everett’s donate thousands of dollars to support over 1,100 Bryant student athletes who participate in varsity, junior varsity, freshman and middle school athletic programs. Opportunities available to all of our student-athletes would not be possible without Everett Buick GMC’s corporate sponsorship.
“Everett Buick GMC is a major sponsor of the annual Salt Bowl. The dealership provides our staff members the use of vehicles to travel to competitions and professional development opportunities. They also substantially support our student athletes in the purchase of State championship rings.
“For several years, Everett Buick GMC has sponsored the Flashing Red, Kids Ahead school bus safety program. This statewide campaign brings awareness to Arkansas motorists of more than 6,000 school buses that transport over a quarter-million students to and from school each day.
“Tonight is most significant because Everett Buick GMC’s support of the Bryant School Disrtrict has gone “above and beyond” in upgrading Hornet Stadium by completely funding the new “state-of-the-art” scoreboard you see tonight. It is this type of generosity that transcends Bryant Athletics in competition at the highest level in Arkansas.
“Dwight and Susie Everett and their family at Everett Buick GMC are good friends to education and to our students. Join me by standing and giving a great big Hornet thank you to these wonderful friends! Thank you Dwight, Susie and Everett Buick GMC.”
