Corporate Challenge and ParTee on the Green score scholarships for students!
President Joanne Truesdell with members of the Lease Crutcher Lewis team

 

Over two-hundred friends of Clackamas Community College gathered Monday, August 25th at Willamette Valley Country Club to demonstrate their support for students attending CCC.

 

Golfers enjoyed the first half of the day participating in the CCC Foundation's Corporate Challenge.  Players from twenty-six teams shopped at the on-site Nike store using their $100 guest pass before teeing off for eighteen holes of golf.  (Click here for a list of event sponsors.)

 

As golfers came off the course they entered the clubhouse where the ParTee on the Green was getting under way.  Music provided by Tom Wakeling and Steve Christoffersen set the tone for the silent auctions, dinner, oral auction and paddle raiser for scholarships. More than $80,000 will go towards student support. 

 

Our deepest thanks to everyone who made this the most successful event in the past eight years!

Scholar Spotlight: Paris Rabidoux

Through the generosity of Foundation donors and support from the Military Families Scholarship Endowment, Paris Rabidoux is one step closer to his dream. 

 

Paris was blown up by an improvised explosive devise when he was twenty years-old, outside Habbaniyah, Iraq.

 

Through his recovery process, Paris became interested in sustainable farming and is now enrolled in CCC's Urban Agriculture and Horticulture programs.

 

Paris was the guest speaker at the ParTee on the Green and has a very compelling story.

Michael & Alice Norris Family Endowment

 

Mike and Alice Norris, dedicated advocates for education, parented three Oregon City High School graduates, and proudly attended college graduations
for each.

 

A family physician, Dr. Norris practiced for 35 years at the Oregon City Family Practice Clinic. In retirement, Mike helped found the Clackamas Volunteers in Medicine free clinic and serves as its Medical Director.

 

A former teacher, Alice served seven years on the Oregon City School Board. After stints heading numerous local non-profits, Alice helped promote community revitalization during her eight years as Mayor of Oregon City. She continues to support education as a member of the CCC Foundation Board.

The action takes place in the notorious "South Boston" neighborhood where the locals are known as "Southies." Margie Walsh lives a hard-scrabble life there taking care of her disabled daughter, working at the local dollar store, and playing bingo with her friends. When she loses her job, she visits an old high school flame she claims owes her a good deed. Things get ugly and funny when she invades his home to see if he's still "Good People."
