Tyler Cameron’s Second Annual Star-Studded Gala
Raises Money For College Scholarships
Reality television star and model Tyler Cameron brought
celebrities and high-profile locals to his hometown on
Oct. 26 for The Andrea C. Cameron Foundation’s second
annual gala. Held at the Pelican Club, the event supported
the foundation’s mission to award college scholarships to
students so they can achieve their full potential.
More than 300 people attended the star-studded gala,
which honored the foundation’s seven 2023 scholarship
recipients and raised money for 10 more full-tuition
scholarships in 2024. Tyler and his brothers Ryan and Austin
surprised the foundation’s 2022 scholarship recipients –
who were originally granted partial scholarships – with
full-tuition scholarships.
