Chabot's Field of Dreams Raises $40,000!
The Friends of Chabot College (FCC) held its 7th Annual Gala on Saturday, October 9th, 2021 at the newly named Steve Friend Stadium on the Chabot campus. It was a sold-out event with over 100 district, college, business and community leaders in attendance. We had perfect weather to show off our new Steve Friend Stadium. Many thanks to the District leaders who also made it out to show support. Preliminary estimates show that we raised a little under $40,000!
 
In addition, we honored leaders who have made sustaining contributions to Chabot College:
  • Mr. Jeff Dixon -Sprinkler Fitters 
  • Ms. Berty Nebenzahl – Beloved Benefactor
  • Mr. Dale Wagoner - Vice President of Administrative Services

Of special note, through Ms. Nebenzahl's bequest, the FCC was able to meet its 5-year HSI endowment match commitment. We have now met our goal of establishing the foundation's first HSI endowment for $220,000 that will fund student scholarships for years to come - all this in the midst of the pandemic!! Sincere thanks to the FCC Board of Directors for dedicating their efforts these past 5 years to meeting this goal!
