Special Assistance Grants Fund
The Special Assistance Grants Fund was created last year through the incredible generosity of the Movers & Shakers Gala guests! The grant enables students affected by the economic crisis to continue pursuing their degree regardless of financial restraints. The college recently renewed their commitment to this fund for the 2010-2011 academic year. Thanks to the generosity of last year's guests $40,000 of initial grant funding was raised at the 2009 Movers & Shakers Gala. Overall, nearly $100,000 was awarded this academic year to over 100 deserving students and families. This year, Hugh & Mary Denison have generously offered to match up to $10,000 raised for the Special Assistance Grants Fund. Don't miss out on this opportunity to double your contribution and truly make a difference in the lives of students. This item will be offered only as a reverse auction style.
