LSC Foundation Celebrates a Record Year During the Annual Dinner & Community Celebration |
|
What an amazing night! Thank you to all who attended the Lake Superior College Foundation Annual Dinner and Community Celebration last Thursday at the Clyde Iron Works Malting Building. The LSC Foundation celebrated another successful year as contributions were up 30% and, most importantly, the LSC Foundation served and supported more students in FY2021 than any other year in the Foundation's nearly 40 year history! This simply wouldn't be possible without the strong support from our community and all who contribute to the LSC Foundation. Special thanks to our talented team who helped organize the event and our generous sponsors: Lake Superior Helicopters, Midwest Communications, KBJR 6 and CBS 3, the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce, Bell Bank, Flint Group, Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union and Cirrus Aircraft.
The star of the show was Samantha Davis, a radiologic technology student at LSC and scholarship recipient, who spoke about how much it meant to her and her family to receive a scholarship from the LSC Foundation. Samantha and another scholarship recipient, Joseph, were also featured in a new video that debuted at the Annual Dinner. Joseph will graduate this May with both his AA and his aviation maintenance degree. These impressive students are two of several hundred who have received support from the LSC Foundation this past year, which is made possible thanks to the generosity of our community and donors. Thank you for helping support students at LSC, by supporting the LSC Foundation! See more photos on the LSC Foundation Facebook page. |
