Members of the Sinclair Community College family helped raise more than $46,000 to be donated toward student scholarships and programs in the \u201c$40 for the Fortieth\u201d campaign. Supported by the Sinclair Foundation, the annual fund returned after a three-year break to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the annual employee fund.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Foundation\u2019s primary mission is to provide support to the college financially,\u201d said Annual Giving and Stewardship Coordinator Sharon Smith. \u201cWe help supplement the college budget.\u201d<\/p>\n
From Feb. 3 through the final day of spring quarter, the Foundation asked staff and faculty to donate a minimum of $40 to the fund. With more than 250 different scholarships available, employees were given options on where they would like to see their donation emphasized.<\/p>\n
In 2006, the Foundation raised $17,000 from employee donations. Compared to the $46,000 raised in two months from 366 donations, the Foundation was overwhelmingly pleased with the show of gratitude.<\/p>\n
Smith said it\u2019s important to show student support during the difficult economic period.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn these troubling economic times, the community is turning to Sinclair for job re-training, career development and an economical alternative to four-year universities,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThe Foundation has become a vital resource for Sinclair in terms of program and scholarship support. Without funds provided by the Foundation, many students would be unable to attend college.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
