On January 13, at a reception at the Aerie at Eagle Landing, the Foundation Board of Directors announced an aggressive fundraising campaign to raise $10 million to support education and innovation at the college.

Celebrating the College's 50th Anniversary in 2016, the Education That Works campaign is dedicated toward student success through scholarships and funds for projects that will inspire creativity and excellence in education. Moneys raised will leave a lasting mark on the college and our communities for decades to come.

The campaign has already received support from businesses, community members, former students, retired faculty, and current College employees. The Foundation Board has raised in excess of $5.8 Million, taking us more than halfway to our goal.

The Board announced several significant gifts at the Aerie event:

• Miles Fiberglass & Composites, and the Miles family, have committed to increasing their current endowment by $100,000.
• Oak Grove Disposal Company and the Spady Family began a new scholarship endowment with a contribution of $200,000.
• Over 75% of CCC employees are donating to the Campaign annually.
• Former CCC students, faculty, and administrators have contributed more than $2 million to the campaign by including the Foundation in their estate planning.

Please join in this exciting challenge. Your philanthropic support will make sure we reach our goals by the 50th Anniversary in May 2016.
