MCCC to Host “Spring Into Student Success" Student Fundraiser

The Mercer County Community College (MCCC) Foundation Board of Directors will host “Spring Into Student Success, “on Monday, April 2, 6 p.m. at the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village. The event marks the college’s 23rd annual spring fundraiser.

Proceeds go to scholarships for deserving students and other student needs. Each year the Foundation awards hundreds of scholarships to high-achieving and financially qualified students, including part-time students and single parents.  Many students benefit from endowed or named scholarships established by donors through the Foundation. 

Replacing the gala dinner dance, this year’s event will include hors d’oeuvres, complimentary beer and wine until 8 p.m., coffee, desserts, a silent auction with original artwork donated by area artists, raffle, awards presentations and networking.  MCCC music students will provide entertainment, and horticulture students will create floral arrangements.
