The Everly Brothers Foundation has provided scholarship support for Muhlenberg County college students since 1989.  In October 1994, the Foundation, headed by Phil and Don Everly and a group of Muhlenberg leaders, announced the donation of a 20-acre tract of land to Madisonville Community College for construction of an off-campus college site.  Many of the Foundation officers including Joe Ben Tucker, Dennis Kirtley, and Mike Mercer helped MCC raise approximately $3 million in cash for construction of a 22,000 square foot multi-service college facility that was completed this past August.  The Foundation continues to offer scholarship opportunities to Muhlenberg college students chiefly through funds generated at its annual Homecoming Concert.
