Foundation Events
Each year we host a range of events and meetings that raise funds for the College and that recognize our donors. We think our donors deserve to be recognized in their community because of their generosity and their commitment to the college. We also seek new faces at our events, people in our community who want to help out the College and our students or who want to learn more about us. If you are interested in any of our events or would like further information about any of them, please contact us at 910-362-7207.
