“Our industry is one that benefits from students who choose the technical college and trade school route,” said Megan Kimsey, general manager of Grandaddy Mimms Distilling Company. “We look forward to those students coming into the workforce. When we had the opportunity to pay it forward, we couldn’t think of a better place to send scholarship funds to.
