PRESS RELEASE
Last week, Wilmington Downtown, Inc. (WDI) presented a check for $650 to Cape Fear Community College for the CFCC Alumni Association Alumni Legacy Scholarship. The funds were raised during the second installment of the Downtown Sundown Concert Series on June 3, 2011. Wristbands will be sold for $1.00 per person at Downtown Sundown all summer long. WDI will be splitting the proceeds with local charities and non-profit organizations each week. Please visit www.wilmingtondowntown.com for a list of charities and corresponding dates.
Once funded, the Legacy scholarship will be available to a selected student who is a family member or legacy of a former CFCC student. The CFCC Alumni Association was formed to build partnerships between the community, the College and its alumni and to give back through involvement, fellowship and service. Free membership is offered to CFCC alumni in which they can enjoy discounts at local merchants and free admission to athletic events. The CFCC Alumni Association continues to encourage voluntary support for this scholarship.
"As the association enters its third year, our officers feel it is important to give back to the college that has directly impacted the lives of so many community residents and businesses, and to impact future generations of CFCC students. Funding the Legacy Scholarship is one way they have begun to do this," said Dana McKoy, Alumni Relations Coordinator.
