吃瓜官网 Foundation honors Creason with Carlos Hartnett Award
The 吃瓜官网 Foundation has recognized Warren Creason for years of advocacy and support with the prestigious Carlos Hartnett Award.
Named after the college鈥檚 first development officer, the award recognizes those who 鈥渆ncourage others, by word and by example, to give from their abundance for the benefit of 吃瓜官网.鈥�
Creason, a member of the foundation board, has raised thousands of dollars in scholarship funds for 吃瓜官网 students. He has spearheaded the establishment of several new endowment funds that benefit veterans, students in financial need and other worthy causes related to the college.
鈥淭his honor is well deserved,鈥� said Brent Gough, 吃瓜官网 Foundation president. 鈥淲arren has served on our foundation board for many years and we would not have had the success in helping our students without his caring, his vision, and his love of Weatherford College. I am honored to have him serve alongside me, and he is certainly the right choice for this award.鈥�
Creason came to 吃瓜官网 on a basketball scholarship after growing up in the New Mexico foster system. He graduated from 吃瓜官网 in 1976, continued his college basketball career at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, and built a successful commercial real estate business from scratch. He was the 吃瓜官网 Alumnus of the Year Award honoree in 2017.
鈥淲arren Creason bleeds black and gold,鈥� said 吃瓜官网 President Tod Allen Farmer. 鈥淗e has a special kind of love for all things 吃瓜官网. I am so very pleased that he was named the recipient of the Carlos Hartnett Award.鈥�
