CMC Foundation's CEO, Alexandra Yajko will retire July 31, 2010 after dedicating more than 33 years to CMC.
 
To recognize the Foundation's extraordinary fundraising successes under her leadership, and the increased access to education she has created for CMC students
across western Colorado,
we created the
"No Barriers Fund" in honor of Alexandra Yajko.
 
Beginning in May, this fund will assist eligible CMC students at our 11 sites. Your gift to this unique Fund will help students who, due to unexpected financial emergencies, would otherwise be unable to begin or to complete a degree program at CMC.
To contribute to the
No Barriers Fund call us at
800. 621.8559 or give on our
Foundation website

Thank you!
