evitt foundation

In 2004, The Evitt Foundation, a 501(c)(3), was established to honor the memory and legacy of Ringgold
Telephone Company founder, Jim Evitt Sr.  During his lifetime, Jim Evitt Sr. was not only just the local pharmacist,
a Catoosa County Superior Clerk, and entrepreneur; but he was an instrumental part of numerous projects that
made Ringgold a better community.

Evitt consistently looked for opportunities to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
  Today, the Evitt Foundation's mission is one which strives to keep Jim Evitt Sr.'s legacy alive.
The Foundation works toward promoting child welfare and education in the Catoosa County community, as well as in
underprivileged areas throughout the world.

With the April 27th tornado disaster, the Evitt Foundation will be working with local children that have been
affected. The Foundation will also be working towards the rehabilitation of educational facilities that
were destroyed.
