The GRCC Foundation recognized and thanked our internal faculty and staff donors who are part of the re-launched 500 club on Tuesday, May 3rd. We had 70 members in attendance! Many members have been giving faithfully at the $500 level for many years and we were able to recognize them for their years of generous and faithful commitment. Since we re-launched the 500 club in the 2015-16 academic year, we had 34 donors either increase their giving or become new donors to the Foundation. The gifts made to the GRCC Foundation help to make a lasting impact on student’s lives. We hope all faculty and staff consider making a financial commitment to the Foundation.
For more information on how you can be part of the 500 Club or a donor to the GRCC Foundation, please contact Erin Cisler at 616-234-3931 or ecisler@grcc.edu.
