"Thank you for donating your money to the CCBC Foundation. There are many people that cannot attend college because they cannot afford to pay for it. If there were more people as generous as you that would never be an issue. To me this scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies. Without this scholarship I would have to work during most of the time I am off school. Thank you for making this year a little easier." - Corey Zamenski

"I donate every year to the Employee Giving Campaign because it allows me to dedicate my money in ways that ensure the dollars go straight to deserving students; it is my pleasure to do so." - Rae Rosenthal

"I give to the Employee Giving Campaign because I know my money goes directly to the students through the scholarship I support – knowing that, I am helping the students I see in class and around the campus is exactly why I contribute." - Donna Mandl

"I have been at CCBC for 38 years in Student Services as a counselor and most recently as an academic advisor. Every day -I deal with students struggling to reach their educational goals. A few years ago I established a fund through employee giving that can be used to help students with small requests (books, a class or a fee). Knowing the book that was purchased or the Phi Theta Kappa fee that was paid has made a difference to a student can be very rewarding. Donations through Employee Giving really do make a difference to the success of CCBC Students." - Ileane Smith
