For unwavering support of Amarillo College that includes a generous leadership gift to AC’s comprehensive campaign and an insightful makeover of the Washington Street Campus fitness center, Sims + Architects has been named recipient of the AC Foundation’s annual Chairman’s Award.Majority owner Sheila Sims, who is a second-term member of the AC Foundation Board of Directors, accepted the illustrious accolade during the Foundation’s 60th Annual Meeting on Sept. 10 at the Amarillo Club.

The spellbinding aura of optimism and exhilaration that invariably permeates Amarillo College with the dawning of each fall semester will be markedly heightened this year by the rebirth of Badger Athletics – in three sports.

AC will mark its return to competitive intercollegiate athletics with a celebratory midday Pep Rally on Aug. 24, and virtually everyone is invited to join in the festivities, meet the players and coaches, and enjoy a free ballpark-style lunch.
