Today, the Bill Gatton Automotive Group includes Chevrolet-Cadillac, Honda and Nissan dealerships in Bristol, Tennessee, and an Acura-Mazda dealership in Johnson City, Tennessee. In 1995, Gatton made a multimillion-dollar gift to the College of Business and Economics at UK, the largest gift ever made to the university prior to 2022. In his honor, the UK Board of Trustees later renamed the college "The Carol Martin Gatton College of Business and Economics." Opened in 2006, the East Tennessee State University Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy is also the namesake of Mr. Gatton. Gatton also donated a large sum of money to the formation of the gifted academy at Western Kentucky, opened in 2007 as the Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science, where high school students could finish their last two years of high school taking rigorous college classes. In February 2022, the University of Kentucky announced a $5 million gift from Gatton. This is the single largest scholarship gift UK has ever received, and Gatton remains the university’s single largest donor. (en)
