CCCC auction raises over $67,000

The 40th annual Cloud County Community College Foundation Scholarship auction raised more than $67,000 Saturday night.
 
“Cloud Proud” was this year’s auction theme, focusing on the Foundation’s mission to assist Cloud students. Attendees bid on silent and live auction items to raise money for the Foundation’s scholarship fund. All funds raised during the evening go directly to the General Scholarship Fund, making Cloud County an option for many students who otherwise might not be able to attend college.
 
“The 40th annual auction was a huge success thanks to the generous donors and attendees,” said Heather Gennette, Foundation director. “The auction only happens with the help of a great team of volunteers and amazing staff. The dedication and time these individuals put toward the event is simply incredible. I think everyone who attended was able to see the impact the Foundation and fundraisers like this have on our students. I couldn’t have asked for a more successful evening!”
 
In the last 40 years, the annual event has raised more than $1 million toward student scholarships.
