In 1992, TGEF established a very select group of individuals known as the "Hall of Eagles." Some of the contributions that gained admission to this group include the development of product promotions, which was fathered by Ed Shull and Charlie Edwards; the development of a world-class golf tournament, which was spearheaded by Tommy Faulk; as well as the creation of the piggyback concept, which led to the induction of David James. The Hall of Eagles is to recognize people who through their efforts and/or ideas have raised over $100,000 for the foundation.
TGEF inducted Barry Maddox, Alliance Marketing Group, into the Hall of Eagles on April 15, 2007 at the annual scholarship awards program. Barry has served as chairman of the West Tennessee Golf Committee for the last three years. In those three years, the tournament has raised over $103,000 for TGEF. He established two scholarships through Alliance Marketing that were awarded this year to graduate level students, served on the TGEF Board of Trustees since 2004 and is currently serving as chairman-elect.
Thank you for your outstanding dedication and support of TGEF. With this induction, the Hall of Eagles now has 27 members.
