At the Oct. 22 “Taste of Fall” fundraiser hosted by the Hudson County Community College Foundation’s West Hudson/North Arlington Scholarship Committee, the Pioneer Boys and Girls Club presented a $5,000 donation to the foundation to be used to fund scholarships for HCCC students.
The club has been a longtime scholarship partner of the college. In April 2010, the West Hudson Chapter of the Pioneer Boys and Girls of America made a $50,000 endowment to the HCCC Foundation. Since the Pioneers’ initial donation in 2010, an additional $160,000 has been raised.
The HCCC Foundation is a nonprofit corporation giving tax-exempt status to contributors. It generates financial support to benefit deserving students and also provides seed money for the college’s physical expansion, new programming and faculty development.
Since the foundation was established in 1997, it has awarded more than 2,000 scholarships totaling $2 million. Additionally, students benefit each year from hundreds of book vouchers and knife vouchers (for culinary students) it supplies.
Contributions to the HCCC Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For information about making a donation, contact Joseph Sansone at jsansone@hccc.edu or 201-360-4006, or visit http://www.hccc.edu/FoundationDonor.
