Women Empowering Education

Thank You

In April 2025, the college foundation held a remarkable event that successfully raised over $75,000 for educational initiatives. This gathering not only showcased the generosity of our community but also underscored the collective commitment to empowering students and enhancing their learning experiences. Attendees included esteemed donors, local leaders, and passionate advocates, all of whom contributed to the event’s outstanding success. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated, as their unwavering support is instrumental in advancing our mission and fostering a brighter future for our students.
