Thank you to everyone who participated in the NMC Foundation’s 24-Hour Donor Challenge on Thursday and Friday. The outpouring of support from our community and especially our campus community helped make the event a success that exceeded expectations.
In just 24 hours, more than 120 donations, exceeding $20,000 were received. That money will go into the Foundation’s Annual Fund and support scholarships, programs, facilities and services here at NMC. I’m proud to have pledged $24 for each of the first 100 donations, and very happy that the great outpouring of support means that my full pledge will be honored.
We have a history of philanthropy here at NMC, and our Foundation has provided almost $50 million worth of support for NMC programs, scholarships, facilities and services since 1951. I’m very proud that this legacy continues on.
The success of the 24-Hour Challenge really emphasizes the support our community has for NMC. Faculty, staff, friends and alumni from as far away as Afghanistan came together to show their love for learning at NMC. We truly are the community’s college.
Thank you for all you do to support our efforts to keep learning at the center of everything we do.
— Timothy J. Nelson, President, NMC
