George and Icy Vaughn Performing Arts Scholarship

Hancock County Community Foundation

George and Icy Vaughn Performing Arts Scholarship was created when George left his entire estate to HCCF to endow and establish a program to recognize the youthof our community. George and Icy were inspired by those that performed for residents of the nursing home. The Vaughns wanted to share their appreciation of the performing arts. This fund support for both scholarships and a community performing arts event.
