Michael T. Gunning – 2017 E.C Tatum Humanitarian Award Recipient

Do you know someone who goes above and beyond to make our community a better place to live?

This Award is named in honor of E.C. Tatum, “A Man of Vision” who personified the commitment to community in Davie County for over thirty-five years. Each year the Chamber seeks nominations of candidates who embody the essence of Mr. Tatum through their volunteer and philanthropic efforts for the betterment of the Davie County community.

“We all know a special person who exemplifies amazing character and gives back to their community for the greater good; someone behind the scenes who is simply there to lend a helping hand because of their generous spirit. We would like the community to consider nominating this exceptional individual so that they might receive this high honor.”
