When Thomas A. and Kim M. Cox found out that Genesee Community College intended to move forward with its annual Encore event on Saturday, December 12, despite the obstacles presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, they were intrigued.
“We’ve always enjoyed working with GCC, including on Encore in the past, and we have been supporters of the GCC Foundation and the scholarships it provides for years,” said Tom Cox. “We were excited to take on the challenge when the Foundation asked us to return and co-chair Encore 2020.”
Last month, Kim and Tom, a current member of the GCC Foundation Board of Directors, kicked off the Encore 2020 efforts and got right to work. The couple announced that this year’s Encore event is being sponsored by Tompkins Financial Advisors, Tompkins Bank of Castile, and Tompkins Insurance Agencies.
With the support of Tompkins Financial, the GCC Foundation has been able to secure special performances by the Genesee Symphony Orchestra and members of the Genesee Chorale.
Perhaps the newest feature of this year’s Encore event will be the venue – the entire performance will be available online. Visit https://gccfoundationinc.org/ for tickets to access the performance from the comfort of one’s own home and an extra special offer that will make the evening even brighter. Join the virtual celebration on Saturday, December 12, at 6 p.m.
