Dawna was TCGi's Procurement Operations Manager. Despite battling cancer, she continued to work hard, allowing TCGi to thrive. After fighting a valiant fight, Dawna passed away in early 2017.
In remembrance, the TCGi Foundation created the Dawna J. Colbert Scholarship for graduating high school seniors who intend to study Computer Science, Information Technology, or Engineering in college. We hope to continue supporting scholars that emulate Dawna's perseverance and passion.
John was TCGi's Regional Account Manager. Despite battling lung cancer, he always made sure to spread joy and have fun. John spent a lot of his free time playing golf with friends and business associates before his passing in 2021.
In remembrance, the TCGi Foundation created both an annual golf classic and a scholarship in his name. This scholarship is for current college and graduate students studying Computer Science, Information Technology, or Engineering at a two- or four-year educational institution.
John's enthusiasm for life was infectious—we hope to continue supporting scholars with the same level of enthusiasm for tech.
