Paintsville, KY (August 15, 2005) Dennis Dorton, President of Citizens National Bank (CNB), presented a check for $5,000 to Dr. George D. Edwards, President of Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) to help sponsor the annual Bluegrass Benefit Concert which will feature Charlie Sizemore for the third year in a row.

Sponsors like Citizens National Bank make it possible for the money raised by the concert to go entirely to fund scholarships and other needs of students and the college. CNB has sponsored the event for the three years that it has been in existence. Dennis Dorton serves on various committees at BSCTC, including the Big Sandy College Educational Foundation, Inc.

Citizens National Bank is located in Johnson, Floyd and Magoffin Counties and presently has 11 locations. Their dedication to education in the Big Sandy area has helped to make it possible for many students to go to college who would otherwise have been unable to go.

Any person or business that wishes to donate to the college or fund a scholarship or endowment should contact Judy Bocook at 606-886-3863 ext. 67369. A gift of scholarship is a gift that goes on giving for generations to come.
